SM City Cebu Art Center Presents SYM Summation

This coming November 21 to December 21, 2014, SM City Cebu Art Center will present Summation by SYM Mendoza.

To know more of the artist, let us read an excerpt of the article written by By Rod Paras-Perez.

– From Canada’s cool Pacific coast at Vancouver, Sofronio Y Mendoza, more widely known as SYM, the founder of the Dimasalang Group, literally comes in from the cold bringing paintings full of sunshine. They highlight people strolling in the parks, flowers in singing colours celebrate springtime love and summertime’s redolence.

– Sym’s flowers bloom joyfully, indeed, apparently content to simply be: no need to underscore any message of profundity. They are flowers promising no more than the perennial bloom only a painting can give. Yet, not too long ago Sym was painting the flowers and backyard nooks and ponds, and water lilies galore, around Dimasalang. They were equally colourful flowers, except somehow that they almost always carried a hint of the smells of the estero.

– Like some rare talisman, however, Sym still hangs on to a few of his old paintings: they allow him to touch the distant days marked with ineffable simplicity. With his friend Romulo Galicano, he used to go on landscaping trips which always gave them not only a harvest of paintings but also . . . shall we say, colourful adventures.
