Works by Carolinians featured in national contemporary art show
A fresh graduate and a third year student of the Department of Fine Arts were among the artists selected in the Sungdu-an, a national exhibit of contemporary art, held August 17-September 18 at the Museum of Three Cultures of Capitol University in Cagayan de Oro City.
Nomar Miano, a painting major who graduated last year, presented “Stigmata”, an oil painting that reflects the influence of semiology in art. Wesley Rasines, a graduating advertising arts major, screened “Patik”, a work that fused tattoo and video. With his classmate Rolan Alberto collaborating for sound, Wesley created “Patik” under a production grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
Nomar Miano's "Stigmata". The painting has been recently acquired by the College of Architecture and Fine Arts as part of its permanent collection of outstanding student artworks.

Started in 2000 as the most comprehensive national survey of new art, the Sungdu-an is also the longest-running and the only curated show of contemporary art in the country It is always sponsored by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts but this year, the Printmakers Association of the Philippines helped fund the show, which carries the theme, “ExTensions”.
A team of four regional curators was appointed for the exhibit. This year’s curator for the Visayas was Radel Paredes, a member of the USC Fine Arts faculty.
