Corn Husking by Audie Estrellada
As a gesture of solidarity with
Manila artists, the Cebuano group
has invited the metropolis-based
Cee Cadid, Romy Ballada and Nestor
Villanueva. Cadid’s Samo’t Sari is a
hyper-realist still life of contrasting
and glistening textures, while Balla-
da’s Serenade is a theatrical shower
of voluminous petals raining down
on two mature and dignified sweet-
hearts. Subsumed within the only
outright abstract work in the show,
Nestor Villanueva’s Syntactical
Forms, are the sinuous lines sugges-
tive of a womanly silhouette.
Kolor Sugbu is a visual declara-
tion that, in Cebuano art, there are
many more shades of colors, more
hues of happiness, than meets our
jaded eyes, certainly a relief from
the grim, despairing images from a
Manila-centric art.
