PHOTOGRAPHER and digital artist Melissa Nolledo-Christoffels, the daughter of Blanca and the late Wilfrido Nolledo, prize-winning novelist (“But for the Lovers”), will display 30 of her works at the Philippine Center in Manhattan.
Titles included in this show are Woman Cradled, Migrations, Saxophonist at Farragut North, Duyan (“Cradle”) and Manong and Manang (The Elders).
“Epiphanies of Flight” opens on July 2 (Artist’s Reception) at the Philippine Center at 556 5th Avenue, New York, NY and continues through July 13.
It is a world of art common to a generation’s obsession with its computerized ability to manipulate an ordinary image beyond recognition.
Digitalization is the hallucinatory tool. Layers of tinkering via a software to produce an artform borders on the incredible; and coming from the kaleidoscopic eye of Melissa Nolledo-Christoffels, a totally believable experience.
