AT THE SLIPPER-SHAPED KOPIAT ISLAND, the sun sets over the mountains on one side, and it rises from the gulf on the other. Its breathtaking vista comes with the well-tended waters and greenery within the island, making it an idyllic location for Silverlens Gallery to open their Lubi Island Art Residency.
Art blends in with nature at the Dusit Lubi Plantation Resort. The Makati-based Gallery collaborates with the Lanang Realty Group to open an art residency where artists of different disciplines make use of materials abundant in the area to create installations for visitors to enjoy during their stay.
Co-owners Isa Lorenzo and Rachel Rillo share that welcoming artists to this island has been a dream for them for decades. “We saw it at its most virgin, and now we want to give back to it by having artists come and make work using what she has to offer,” Isa says.
