“Grand Opening” – Bushrod District gallery

 

We at Paolo Mejia Fine Art and Design are very excited to announce our comeback in showcasing art and introducing artists to the community.

Finally, here we are to re-establish our activities and mission. This new space will open more doors for us and our fellow artists. We hope that you continue to support us by following us and attending our functions. There will be more positive news coming up. So, stick around and anticipate a fresh new space and activities.

Statement:

While living in the US, our heritage stems from the Philippines; and many of us continue to hold a strong bond to our customs & culture. "Burnt Rice" explores these customs through the form of a spiritual connection to both plants and animals. Flora and fauna can symbolize a type of 'grounding' of energies. Rice holds a special link to both our culture as Filipinos as it is a staple to our diet and the plant itself is commonly seen throughout the archipelago of the Philippines. This plant is so directly linked to our being, as it provides physical sustenance, nourishes our soul, and continues our connection to our heritage. This will be Epekto Art Project's first out of state exhibit.
