‘Betsy Westendorp + Igan D’Bayan’ at The Crucible

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Betsy Westendorp and Igan D’Bayan are featured in a back-to-back exhibit, which opens on June 18, Tuesday, 6 p.m., at The Crucible, fourth floor, SM Megamall A, Mandaluyong City.

The show is a juxtaposition of contrasting styles, philosophies and techniques — Westendorp is into elegant portraits and all-engulfing skies, while D’Bayan is obsessed with the macabre and “things that go bump in the night.” The two artists will each present a self-portrait surrounded by satellite paintings. 

“I think, technically, Betsy and Igan are known for portraiture — and that’s the basic premise (of the exhibition),” explains Crucible owner Sari Ortiga, who conceptualized the show.

“When someone sits in front of you for a portrait for the first time, it is the beginning of an interesting adventure,” describes Westendorp. “And by the end of the sessions, you have become really good friends. It’s a beautiful experience. You even get to read people’s minds.”

“When I do portraits,” shares D’Bayan, “I ask the sitter what his or her nightmares are, or what the greatest fears are. And then the Payne’s Gray descent into hell begins (laughs).”
