One Sunday, Kimberly Yao was awoken from Sunday slumber by a call and a proposition:
“For those like me who work and play non-stop for six days a week, lazy Sundays are best spent in bed with a bag of chips and a DVD of The Vampire Diaries. So when I woke up to a call from Warner Music asking me to suggest a place where they could bring Jason Derülo out, I thought to myself: ‘It’s a Sunday, for goodness’ sake.’ But the words that came out were: ‘I have the perfect place for a steady night. Let’s do this.’ Little did I know that a Sunday party with Jason Derülo would be anything but steady.”

This week, 17 young artists take over the Supreme logo for our Manila Art special. Chief supremo Tim Yap writes, “Some time last week, I was on my way to be the earliest guest of Igan D’ Bayan’s latest exhibit at the Crucible Gallery in SM Megamall when something called my name. It was a painting of pixelated proportions, of a man whose mind was open and was spewing out thoughts, ideas and purple-colored animals. I was perplexed and went inside Galerie Anna and stared at the visual expressions of a certain Dicky Joe Santos, a guy I’ve never heard of before, but someone who I instantly wanted to meet. There was a certain playfulness and a lot of thought that went into his works, like someone playing a profound video game (is there such a thing?).

‘There is a whole generation of young Filipino artists that are on the brink of making it, we just have to be catalysts for that change. The Philippine art scene is going through an upswing and we all have to remind each other of the potential we have to be the best,’ gallery curator Grace Escudero says. Within the first 30 minutes of that conversation, this shoot had been formed and we went out to gather like-minded individuals who best represent this new generation of artists.”
