'THE ART OF NOT BEING UNDERSTOOD'

"It's a form of communication that you do not want to communicate." JC Crescini stated on April 28, 2023, during the exhibit opening.

Heritage Art and Antiquities presents the artworks of JC Crescini, himself a gallerist, avid art collector, and supporter of Filipino artists and the community.
Starting out as an ace salesman for Megaworld, JC also started collecting Filipino art leading him to be an art broker and established his own gallery. Eventually, he found his own art. Also acknowledged as the Bad Boy of Philippine Art, his latest works are an attack on overrated artists, and even on Philippine Art itself!

CID REYES ON JC
Born in October 1981, JC looks like a typical millennial except that his artistic mind is askew. His works display the influences of Arturo Luz and Ivan Acuña but he is sometimes shunned by his peers. But the new artworks he keeps in his storeroom may stir the sewer.

World-renowned Filipino artist and art critic Cid Reyes wrote about JC as someone who constructs his works along the imperatives of Action Painting, or Abstract Expressionism, "which methods fathom the artist’s emotions and instincts, thereby unleashing the subconscious, in turn, manifested on the canvas surface with brushstrokes, alternately violent and lyrical."

"Impelled by spontaneity and sheer connectivity with his instincts, Crescini works with no premeditated study or design. The artist is able to elicit varying and shifting intensities of light and dark through the exciting intermingling of black and gold, heightening the electric tension between the two -- JC’s “Midas Touch” in action."

See how the “Bad Boy of Philippine Art,” JC Crescini, flexes his solo exhibit, ‘The Art of Not Being Understood’ at the Heritage Art and Antiquities, #33 4th Avenue, corner Main Avenue, Cubao, Q.C . Tel # 8724- 0539 +639088601290.

The exhibit -- with most pieces sold out but still on display -- runs until May 28, 2023.

Congratulations, JC and Heritage Art Center!
