Kite-filled exhibit at Artablado Robinsons Galleria

All of Bong Anore’s paintings include colorful kites. It’s a motif he has made his own. Kites symbolize lofty dreams and freedom; their ability to soar high is only limited by the length of string that tethers them to the ground. Mr. Anore, who turns 50 later this year, was born and raised in Binangonan, Rizal, which is considered by many as an “artists’ paradise.” It was only after experimenting with different media and painting styles that he latched on to his signature kites. “I came to love them. During my exploratory years, I tried abstracts, landscapes, florals, still lifes and even portraiture but came to realize kites as an identity, my identity,” Mr. Anore said. Before he could devote himself entirely to art, however, he first took up Electronics and Communications Engineering in college. “But it only made me fall in love with art even more. My kite drawings were influenced by [the drafts required] for engineering drawings.” Mr. Anore has held four solo exhibits as well as participated in group exhibits at the San Agustin Museum in Intramuros and in a gallery in New York City, USA. His brightly colored images translate well as greeting cards and have been chosen seven times by Hallmark for its Christmas card cover and souvenir designs from 2011 to 2018, and by Dohle Seafront Philippines, a shipping firm, in 2019. His art has also garnered prizes including 3rd place at Robinsons Land Corporation’s 1st National Art Competition in 2018. For his 5th solo show, “Ode to the Wind,” at Artablado in Robinsons Galleria, Mr. Anore embraces further his love for kites. His exhibit runs from July 1 to 19.
