This year’s art exhibit was combined with
The Manila Hotel’s 2025 Easter Party theme, Easter at the EGGmerald City. At
the heart of the installation are intricately designed acrylic eggs,
transformed into unique works of art that merge street art, pop culture, urban
narratives, and toy-inspired aesthetics. The exhibit is a vivid celebration of
imagination, paying homage to the evolution of Filipino art and its growing
influence on the global stage.
The opening reception drew an eclectic
audience of art enthusiasts, collectors, and media, eager to witness the
rebirth of new artistic generation. The Grand Lobby was transformed into a vibrant
and whimsical gallery space, showcasing the creativity of stellar lineup of
artists, including Jade Suayan, Trip63, Creon Chkn, Blic, Exld Manila, Distort
Monsters, Gerilya (Jano and Mar Gonzales), Wesley Valenzuela, Isobel Francisco,
Lianne Steffi Lim, Reen Barrera, Egg Fiasco, and Quiccs. Each piece reflected
the distinct techniques and diverse styles that define contemporary Filipino
artistry.
“We are honored to continue providing a
space that not only showcases the dynamic talent of Filipino artists but also fosters
a deeper appreciation for urban and collectible art within our historic walls,”
said Marvin Kim Tan, The Manila Hotel’s vice president for sales and marketing.
More than just an exhibition, HATCH serves
as a platform for artists to push creative boundaries and explore new forms of
expression. This exhibit has reaffirmed its role as a pivotal platform in the
local art scene, demonstrating its ever-evolving dynamism.
