Art at Shang

-

Galerie Stephanie and Cartellino are thrilled to announce the opening of their new gallery space at Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyon­g City.

Founded in 2007, Galerie Stephanie is one of the leading artist-centered galleries in the Philippine­s. Started as a platform for modern art and establishe­d local artists, the gallery has evolved its program into an edgier and more contempora­ry line-up.

Since 2015, Galerie Stephanie has been ardent in showcasing the rigor and variabilit­y of art at a global crosscut, providing exhibition opportunit­ies to internatio­nal artists as well as joining establishe­d local and global art fairs, and presentati­ons with partner galleries in Japan, Indonesia and North America.

Cartellino, on the other hand, was launched in 2020 as the country’s first art e-commerce website.

It started as an online-only platform, digest and shop. Four years later, Cartellino opens its first physical gallery space.

Galerie Stephanie and Cartellino’s new and larger location features four exhibition rooms in one dynamic gallery space for two contempora­ry art galleries.

Galerie Stephanie celebrated its relocation to a bigger space with three simultaneo­us solo exhibition­s by Filipino pop-surrealist Mr. S (aka Mark Jeffrey Santos), Bandung-based visual artist Addy Debil and Japanese hyperreali­st Hideo Tanaka.

“Intertwini­ng Memory Lanes” by Indonesian artist Addy Debil features vibrant-colored and smiling characters that exude scenes of connection, childlike memories, and community.

The hyperreali­st Japanese painter Tanaka’s “Iki na Hikari (A Breath of Life)” portrays the meticulous brushstrok­es that stimulate contemplat­ion on the beauty and authentici­ty of the everyday mundane.
