signal number 50/50

50/50Nico Puertollano's 2nd Solo Exhibit for 2007

Consistently putting skateboard decks inside galleries, as an artist and skateboarder, Nico Puertollano welcomes us to his world of half art and half-skating. This time around Nico explores his own cultural identity. Born and raised in Manila, Nico's family moved to NYC when he was 9 years old, enabling him to experience and share the lifestyle of most Americans. Oddly though, it was in the West where Nico's fascination for Japanese culture flourished. This fascination led him to travel, discover and learn the curiosities of the Far East. Nico also adapts the undying honor and moral fiber that is distinctive of the Bushido Code.

Now, Nico is back in the Philippines and continues his personal journey expressed through art. 50/50 is an examination of where these three cultural identities have taken him so far; whether they have been fruitful, virtuous or illuminating, Nico's deep exploration is shared through the viewer through this exceptional collection of skateboards. Armed with the skateboard in its naked glory, the pieces likewise remain simple, truthful and carved with insight that only one's soul can express.

50/50 marks Nico Puertollano's 2nd solo and his 8th art show for this year. Pablo Art Gallery, Cubao Shoe Expo, 7 pm, August 18, Saturday.Call or text 0915-8505861 for details

URBAN LEGEND -Nice!

For years Manila and Quezon City streets became an open ground for a familiar handwriting and quotes like Sto. Niño Win Nice, Lim Win Nice, Gloria Win Nice and what's really nice about all of these writings are that it is actually a positive point of view in a sense according to some source that had an opportunity to talk with the writer. Despite of the writer’s true condition, being anonymous and speculations that the writer is a homeless man, "taong-grasa", etc., some curious spectators and actually real fans (including us) are really in the lookout and wants to find out more about these handwritings.

Recently some friends caught the writer in the act of writing on the backside of a bus somewhere in Blumentrit area doing one of his newest quotes the "VS. Series" (where he puts personality names vs. other names or words vs. words), that is for us very surprisingly to know that this writer's street works are really in progress. But as expected, the writer walked away after the writings are done like a normal street writer would do. Nice? With fans like us and people who sees essence of his work, we'll make sure that this "urban legend's" works are always greatly appreciated and properly acknowledged. NICE
