FILIPINO ARTIST PORTRAYS CULTURAL SUBSTANCE IN AN EXHIBIT IN THE PHILIPPINE EMBASSY IN BERLIN http://www.dfa.gov.ph/news/pr/pr2005/sep/pr674.htm 23 September 2005 – The Philippine Embassy in Berlin reported to the Department of Foreign Affairs that as part of the Asia-Pacific Week 2005, an exhibit by Filipino visual artist Noel Gene B. Lungay, which portrays emotional content and Filipino cultural substance, was opened on 19 September 2005 at the Philippine Embassy in Berlin Chancery. Ambassador to Germany Minerva Jean A. Falcon, who officially opened the exhibit entitled “Kapaw…Echoes of the Sea Children,” said that “Mr. Lungay is one of the few Asian artists who, despite interactions with the European art community, has retained the Asian touch and emphasizes adherence to root culture and its art.” The artworks, oil on canvas and terracotta figures, about sea nomads in the Asia-Pacific region are visual interpretations of the artist's experiences with Badjaos or Philippine sea nomads, where he tries to show certain parallelisms between their interactions with their natural environment and the urbanized societies. These artworks show certain conflicting aspects of primitive cultures, which are stiff clinging to their preserved traditions, despite living and mingling in the modernized global society. They also show the skill and style of the artist, as well as the emotional content and cultural substance that the artist feels toward his subjects. Lungay's recent artworks portray the artist's sensitive ability to derail light and color on a specific scheme, and the heightened visual perception that allow him to freely move through art on experimental levels in modern realism. Such levels include eagle perspectives and underwater scenes with subjects purely retained from memory.
Mr. Lungay has been residing in the State of Hesse since 2004, and has had four exhibitions in Germany since 2004. In a recent art competition, he won the first prize "Kunstwege II" from the city of Eschwege. The culmination of the Asia-Pacific Weeks is the closing concert of Philippine performing artist Grace Nono and her ensemble. END
