About Eloquent Simplicity in Wood and Fiber
Eloquent Simplicity is comprised of two intertwined exhibits exploring the versatility of wood and fiber as materials for furniture and everyday objects. Featured in the exhibits are traditional everyday objects from the Cordilleras primarily from the collections of Floy Quintos and Armand Voltaire Cating, and select contemporary designs by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, Claude Tayag, Wataru Sakuma, and Daniel Latorre Cruz.
The show seeks to define the aesthetic sensibilities of the people of the Cordillera mountains and how natural materials such as wood and fiber are used to create unique utilitarian and ritual objects. On view until September 25, Eloquent Simplicity is a continuation of the museum's thrust to highlight Philippine visual art traditions alongside contemporary expressions.
