Autohub X Cloud Grey: Artistry in Motion at the Mini BGC Showroom | Motourismo

On showcase is Ronald Ventura's Mini Convertible Seaside Edition which is now his personal rolling masterpiece.

 

The Autohub Group and Cloud Grey Gallery have formally announced their collaboration on an art exhibition that focuses on the MINI Brand, its rich history, paradigmatic design, and cultural impact.

The MINI exhibition opens on September 25, 2023 from 8:30am – 6pm at the MINI BGC Showroom.

The show is curated by Ruel Caasi.

Ronald Ventura has released limited-edition prints, while Cloud Grey artists — Ronson Culibrina, Keb Cerda, Olan Ventura, Manok Ventura and Igan D’Bayan — will exhibit MINI paintings as well as MINI model cars reimagined with their own respective artistic oeuvres. All prints, paintings and resin cars on display are for sale.

Artist on Spotlight: Ronald Ventura

Ronald Ventura is one of Asia’s leading artists. His recent exhibitions include an introspective show at the Karuizawa New Art Museum in Japan, which will also be mounted this October in its counterpart in Singapore. Culibrina, Cerda, Manok, Olan and D’Bayan have all mounted recent exhibits in the Philippines and abroad.  

The featured artists focused on the MINI image either as the main subject or as a jump-off point for further expression and exploration, using their distinctive styles and visual strategies to pay tribute to such an iconic car. They also used model cars in resin as painting surfaces, presenting the idea that art can have mobility, accessibility, and the ability to zoom in and out of everyday life.
