Immerse in Bacolod’s “Colors and Flavors,” an Art Display at JT’s

August 17, 2023

FilipinoArt.ph, an online art gallery supporting Filipino artists, collaborates with JT’s Manukan Grille, a chicken inasal restaurant chain, via the art display titled “Colors and Flavors of Bacolod.’’

 

FilipinoArt.ph and JT’s Manukan Grille, BGC Branch on 32nd Avenue, present the vivid colors and the delectable flavors of Bacolod City via the art display “Colors and Flavors of Bacolod,” running now until October 15, 2023.

Ongoing until Oct. 15, 2023, the art display features acrylic paintings of local artist Roselle Manalastas and Jason Ray Zabat at JT’s Manukan Grille in 32nd Ave. cor. Bonifacio Blvd. BGC.

 

“Colors and Flavors of Bacolod” portrays Bacolod City’s cultural heritage, seizing its essence through vibrant colors and vivid emotions that showcase the city’s annual celebration of the Masskara Festival. The artists’ creations draw deep inspiration from the world-renowned street festival, which stands as a symbol of the Negrenses’ resilience, born during the sugar crisis of the 1980s.

 

Joel Torre, the owner of JT’s Manukan Grille, wants to use his chains of restaurants as a safe, creative space for Filipino artists. “Our original al-fresco setup wasn’t ideal for displaying traditional visual art due to dust. Nonetheless, we hosted performances and showcased films, aiming to turn the place into an arts hub. We are also transforming our branch in Boracay into an arts community, initiating storytelling, music, painting, and filmmaking workshops. This is our way of giving back to the community.”

 

Artist Jason Ray Zabat and Joel Torre pose with the former’s artworks: (L) “Mr. JuanTilaok,” inspired by Mr. Torre, and (R) “Mutya ng Masskara.”

 

Jason Ray Zabat, FilipinoArt.ph artist, shared his creation process of “Mr. Juan Tilaok,” an intricately layered acrylic painting inspired by Mr. Torre. Zabat said, “The chicken, embodying the restaurant and Mr. Torre, was vital in shaping the artwork. The attire reflects Mr. Torre’s artistic identity, enhanced by cultural elements like the Sarimanok-inspired tail and natural motifs of flowers and vines on the coat.”

 

Jason Ray Zabat explains the creation process of “Mr. Juan Tilaok.”

 

Zabat’s artwork has also incorporated Bacolod’s famous delicacies, such as inasal, piaya, and kansi, adding depth to the artwork’s narrative.

 

Before this art display, FilipinoArt.ph also partnered with other local establishments to promote artists and expand its reach. Its initial collaboration was with Brewed Specialty Coffee, a third-wave coffee shop in Pasig City. As part of the coffee shop’s second-anniversary celebrations, FilipinoArt.ph hosted an art display titled “Sining at Kape,” featuring the works by Pasigueño artists.
