Lopez Memorial Museum hosts visual artist Ikoy Ricio on October 25 from 2-4pm, to discuss the role of visual artists as storyteller. The Artist's Talk complements the ongoing exhibit Tell-tale: The Artist as Storyteller, Amorsolo as Co-Author, which looks into the visual artist as a collaborator, and his works as narratives themselves.
The current exhibition features a contemporary installation project by Ricio where he created sculptures and paintings based on Amorsolo's illustrations for Camilo Osia's Philippine Readers (1924).
He brought to life Amorsolo's characters from the story The Little Boy's Dream with Soap Parade, Coat Sprint, Towel Stun and Towel Crawl among others. For more info: watch MTV's Timeout feature here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9OMbm4eHmU
Like Amorsolo, Ricio has also collaborated with writers and editors to come up with cover and book designs, and illustrations for their works.
A graduate of the UP College of Fine Arts, he currently teaches art and has also done production designs for videos and television and stage and set designs.
Lecture fee is P120 per person. Tell-tale: The Artist as Storyteller, Amorsolo as Co-Author is ongoing until April 4, 2009 at the Lopez Memorial Museum. The museum is located at the ground floor of Benpres Building, Exchange Road, Pasig City. For more info, call Fanny at 631-2417.
