FANS of installation art who are staying at the Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod are in for a treat as the hotel proudly presents “Gilded Expressions,” a one-man show by renowned installation artist Jojo Vito.
“Gilded Expressions” is the first installation art exhibit hosted by Art Cove, featuring Vito’s sculptural pieces made of fiberglass and rendered metallic. The exhibit showcases purely decorative art pieces and other functional arts like huge laminated mirrors, lampshades, vases, and more, using classy natural materials like golden capiz shells and other glittery shells abundant in Negros.
Launched on March 22, 2023 on Vito’s birthday himself, “Gilded Expressions” serves as a celebratory exhibit with Vito’s limited edition works, which explore the intricate relationships between light, space, and texture, while highlighting a series of immersive installations that invite the viewer to experience the interplay between materiality and meaning.
“Gilded connotes something beautiful, something shimmering. Something that is luxurious. All of us have the desires and dreams to own gilded things – to make our lives better. By creating these masterpieces, I want to remind people to always go for that dream. For me, gilded means reinvention, people should always reinvent themselves, to remain relevant. If there’s such thing as seeing things with a silver lining, or perhaps a golden lining,” Vito shares in his speech.
“We are excited to showcase Jojo Vito’s ‘Gilded Expressions’ at Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod,” said the hotel’s Rooms Division Manager, Archie Javellana. “His works are a testament to the transformative power of art, and we believe that this exhibition will provide an unforgettable experience for our guests and visitors alike.”
The event was also visited by Vito’s professor friends, local media, and co-members of the Negrense Bloggers Society.
“Gilded Expressions” will run until June 30, 2023, and promises to provide a unique and exciting visual experience for art enthusiasts and the public. For sales inquiries and artwork purchases, guests may approach the hotel front desk or call +63 34 706 8888.
