Prepare to be enthralled by the artistic brilliance of Rodel Gonzalez, the first and only Filipino artist officially licensed by Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars to create stunning artworks. After a series of highly successful exhibitions in the United States and Japan, Gonzalez’s grand exhibition, “The Fine Art of Rodel Gonzalez,” is finally arriving in the Philippines.
Taking place at COLLAB Sheraton Manila Hotel in Newport World Resorts, the exhibition will open its doors on June 3, 2023, at 5pm. This eagerly anticipated event offers the Filipino public, art enthusiasts, collectors, and the media an exceptional opportunity to admire these exquisite artworks up close and even acquire a cherished piece from the collection.
Presented by Newport World Resorts and Sheraton Manila Hotel, the Manila Art Show of Rodel Gonzalez is curated and organized by Kartini Asia Gallery, with the special participation of Uniquecorn Strategies.
“It is high time for an internationally renowned Filipino artist like Rodel Gonzalez to receive well-deserved recognition in his own country,” expressed Kingson Sian, President, and CEO of Newport World Resorts.
Gonzalez was accredited by Disney 15 years ago, in 2008, granting him the privilege to bring the media giant’s iconic characters and scenes to life through his remarkable paintings. Renowned for his mastery of the dry-brush technique and his keen eye for color, form, and composition, Gonzalez’s intricate artworks have captivated audiences across Disney Theme Parks, Cruise Lines, and art galleries in Japan, North America, and Europe.
“We are proud to provide a home for the works of Rodel Gonzalez within Newport World Resorts,” added Sian. As a premier lifestyle and entertainment destination, Newport World Resorts consistently supports Filipino artists and the performing arts through various initiatives, including the long-running, all-Filipino hit musical “Ang Huling El Bimbo,” a brainchild of Sian himself.
The Manila Art Show will showcase and auction over a hundred art pieces featuring beloved characters from the Star Wars universe, such as Yoda, Stormtroopers, and Darth Vader. Marvel Cinematic Universe favorites like Iron Man and Spiderman will also grace the collection, alongside Disney princesses Elsa, Cinderella, and many others. The paintings encompass a range of sizes and mediums, including Acrylic on Black Paper, Acrylic on Canvas, Acrylic on Gesso Board, Oil on Canvas, Oil on Gesso Board, Oil on Aluminum, and Giclee on Canvas.
