“New Art Frontiers” spotlights the exceptional talents of current students and recent graduates from the esteemed Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, a name synonymous with artistic excellence since 1750. This group exhibition is the culmination of gallery director Remigio David’s encounter with the Academy’s annual “Antares” showcase, sparking a collaboration to bring the innovative visions of these young European artists to Manila. This landmark exhibition also offers Filipino collectors and art enthusiasts a rare opportunity to see and even acquire works by Europe’s next generation of artistic trailblazers.
