Lecture on artist as storyteller

10/21/2008

Lopez Memorial Museum hosts visual artist Ikoy Ricio on Oct. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. to discuss the role of visual artists as storyteller. The artist’s talk by Ricio complements one of Lopez Museum’s current exhibits, 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. 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.

The current exhibition also features an 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.

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 or visit www.lopezmuseum.orq.ph.
