Sculpture apprenticeship groupfie
My UP (University of the Philippines) CFA (College of Fine Arts) sculpture majors companions and I are having a post-work drink with Apolinario Paraiso Bulaong (1930s-2013) after several days of wood carving is in studio in the City of Malolos, Province of Bulacan.
Apolinario "Ka Inar" Paraiso Bulaong (1930s-2013) was a student of National Artist Guillermo Tolentino (1890-1976), at the U.P. School of Fine Arts. A contemporary of Napoleon Abueva, Bulaong dabbled in both classical and modernist styles of sculpture. However, Bulaong focused his efforts in creating monuments for his province of Bulacan; such as the Pulang Lupa sculptural mural and the equestrian sculpture of Gregorio del Pilar in Bulacan.
For more information on our apprenticeship under “Ka Inar”, I wrote the memoire: “Random Memories: Mentors in Sculpture” (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159579018676404&set=a.10159242840496404)
