UOG alumnus dedicates mural to Guam<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
Austin Domingo, local artist and UOG alumnus, said Guam served as the inspiration for his design.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy design will be an illustration of a carabao portrait but will be decorated with Guam-centric patterns and elements such as leaves, latte stone, weaving patterns and more,\u201d Domingo said. \u201cI love representing the island so I chose an iconic animal that is important to the island. The carabao is a symbol of hard work which I think relates to this year\u2019s GAX event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Domingo commented on the thriving art scene.<\/p>\n
“Throughout the years, the contemporary art scene has grown because of the continuous efforts of encouraging new artists to showcase their talents. GAX has been the cornerstone behind the movement. The appreciation for the arts on island has increased and it’s exciting to see more and more local artists coming up.”<\/p>\n
Domingo graduated from UOG in Spring 2012 with a BA in Fine Arts – Art.<\/p>\n

Local artists meld culture and lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\nLocal artists from Opake, Ed \u201cLerk\u201d Gaza, Rome Daco, Shaun Juan and Tim De Leon Guerrero, revealed plans for their mural.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor our design, we are covering the wall in a blue teal background, dressed with Opake\u2019s signature floral pattern that Rome designed. We will be constructing an original script font of the word \u2018Hafa Adai\u2019,\u201d according to De Leon Guerrero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
De Leon Guerrero adds that the design is inspired by the group\u2019s urban culture and island lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see our love for the beauty of the islands with the floral patterns and the teal background, then you see the graffiti influence with the style of typography the \u2018Hafa Adai\u2019 will be. The design brings together the island life and urban culture that us four artists have grown to love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
