onib olmedo’s tamed horses
18 Jul 10
What a beautiful introduction to Onib Olmedo.
My knowledge of Filipino art is shameful, so it took Crisi’s strong arm to finally put me face-to-face with an Onib painting last Thursday. Crisi has been raving about this Onib piece for so long, always telling me to drop by the art galleries in Shangri-la to look for it. Wasn’t a coincidence that when we passed by last Thursday, we met not just the gallery owner of Artistree, but the owner of the Onib painting himself, Vic Salta.
The painting wasn’t on display, but Vic was gracious enough to take the painting out of storage for us to take a peep, and later on take our pic with it, such a joy!
Two BIG THANK YOUs, for the beautiful art, and for the random kindness!

If Mr. Salta hasn’t put it back in storage, Onib Olmedo’s Tamed Horses can be viewed at the Artistree Gallery, Shangri-la Plaza.
