A mother has symmetry in her essence - a physical and emotional imperative. The result is soft organic lines that, hopefully, point towards beauty --- yet simultaneously suggest an indirect solidity. The artists consciously created a wordless combination of vigor, intricacies in emotions, and camaraderie that often is expressed from one woman to another.
More than an observance, Heartfelt investigates the shifting re-interpretations of motherhood as subject matter in the world of arts. This exhibit identifies the historical models of motherhood, the role of feminism, and gender discourse and its shifting notions. This is examined in relation to complex hierarchies regarding the domestic and professional sphere.
The participating artists aspire to make viewers feel the complexity of motherhood, including a mother's vulnerability and her innate strength, a person who nurtures - the same way as artists nurture the audience imaginations.
Heartfelt is an exhibition of works in celebration of Mother's Day by National Artist Federico Aguilar - Alcuaz, Juvenal Sanso, Dominic Rubio, Ombok Villamor, Toym Imao, Marge Organo, Aljo Pingol, Caress Banson, Nap Limaten, and Randy Roa.
