The family that creates art together stays together.
The renowned Blanco family from Angono, Rizal are the featured artists at the Philippine Center in New York for Philippine Independence Month, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Thursday.
The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in New York and the Philippine Center Management Board (PCMB) jointly organized the exhibit by the Blanco family from June 3 to 15.
Dubbed "Art by the Blanco Family," the exhibit is "part of this year's celebration of the 114th anniversary of the proclamation of Philippine Independence," the DFA said in a news release.
The works exhibited were made by the second and third generations of the Blanco family, all taught by their late patriarch and Filipino master Jose Blanco: Glen, Noel, Michael, Joy, John, Gay, and Peter Paul and their children.
The DFA said the Blanco family is best known for a folk realism style, depicting the so-called "Tagalog Pastorale."
Many of the subjects of their works are based on the flora and fauna as well as the rituals of rural life in their hometown of Angono, Rizal.
