GAMA: “Art is not complicated!”

International artist Boy Quiamco and  CTU academic Grace Cabellon kick off GAMA art exhibit on November 25, 2019 at the Robinsons Galleria in Cebu City.

Sugid Alampat debuted  GAMA: Youth, Diversity, and Expression, a collection of paintings representing the very life, inspiration, and intellection of artists—an exhibition that screams, “Art is not complicated!”

Under the supervision of CTU academic Grace Gay Cabellon, Sugid Alampat, whose name  is derived from two Sinugbu-anu’ng  Binisaya words—“sugid” or storytelling and “alampat” or art—believes that storytelling isn’t only limited to the use of words; creative storytelling can also be through hues and strokes.

Aspiring young artists in Cebu exhibit their intellections vis-a-vis art-is-not-complicated ideology.

Its founder, Kean Larrazabal, a twenty-one-year old icon who hailed from the City of Iligan, Lanao del Norte, had had his work featured by various personalities and companies including PENTEL Singapore and TITUS Pen. Recently, his commissioned painting became a book cover for Reading of the Regions by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

In a nutshell, the group encourages the youth to lean toward Arts as a form of self-expression. It aims to give opportunities to celebrate what one values or contemplate perspectives different from one’s own in a non-confrontational way.

GAMA: Youth, Diversity, and Expression is more than just an exhibition; it is a celebration of creativity and ingenuity. It is a movement./Grace Cabellon
