BEHOLD A CITY.
Why is it that when we talk of Manila, we do so in the past tense? Partly because a major part of it was destroyed in 1945 and the city was ironically ravaged further by random reconstruction.
This poignant work on paper by Ryan Villamael, from 2019, showing Manila City Hall in ruins is one of my favourites. My choice further validated by Villamael's inclusion in the prestigious 2021 CCP Thirteen Artists Awards.Congratulations and belated happy birthday Ryan Villamel!
