Renaissance Art Gallery marks 10th year at SM Megamall | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo  and Raphael comprised the High Renaissance period in visual art, which flourished in Italy in the 15th century.

 

To be sure, the word Renaissance, which means rebirth, is a good name for an art gallery. Rich with historical meaning and emotion, it signifies the highest aspiration of humanity and its search for artistic excellence.

 

Thus, when the couple Noli and Agnes Romero decided to open an art gallery, it was christened, by mutual agreement, Renaissance. That was in 2003. This year, Renaissance Art Gallery celebrates a decade of existence, a feat in itself in the highly competitive world of Philippine art marketing.

 

Renaissance helped launched the careers of Max Balatbat, Sio Montera, Aner Sebastian, Ronaldo Ruiz, Orley Ypon, Felix Catarata, Jojo Austria, Benjie Bisaya, Josef Laureano  and Fitz Herrera.

 

The gallery has also collaborated with some of the country’s top interior designers, supplying choice artworks to Crown Regency Hotels (Makati and Cebu), Traders Hotel Manila, Hotel Dominique Tagaytay, Eton  and Shangri-La Properties.

 

After 10 years, Noli and Agnes  still regard their love affair with art as a lifetime commitment, with each show a continuing search for the masters of tomorrow.

 

“RenaiXance: A Decade of Renaissance Art Gallery” exhibit opens on June 5 at the Art Center, 4/F, SM Megamall Bldg. A, Mandaluyong City.

 

Special guests of honor are National Artists Napoleon Abueva, Arturo Luz, Ben Cabrera, Abdulmari Imao.

 

Some 50 artists and their works will be featured. The exhibit, curated by Cid Reyes, runs until June 29.
