MOVING <strong>Forward</strong><br />
a solo exhibit by Michael Anthony Sagaran<br />
curated by Nestor Jardin<br />
<strong>Moving</strong> forward from where he left off – as a hotelier <strong>and</strong><br />
public relations expert – to a private life away from the center<br />
of things, Michael Anthony Sagaran goes back to what he was<br />
trained for – art. As a graduate of fine arts from the University of<br />
Sto. Tomas, Michael has always kept his paint brushes on h<strong>and</strong>,<br />
ready to put on canvas images or ideas that have interested or<br />
inspired him.<br />
“<strong>Moving</strong> <strong>Forward</strong>,” an exhibit of acrylic paintings of various<br />
modes of transportation, is not just a metaphor for everybody’s<br />
aspiration to “fast forward” to a new normal in life but an urge<br />
as well to move on by whatever means we have. Michael’s<br />
collection of paintings of iconic cars, scooters, jeepney <strong>and</strong><br />
motorcycles executed in vivid colors is a celebration of vibrancy<br />
of life after the grimness of the p<strong>and</strong>emic <strong>and</strong> lockdowns.<br />
“<strong>Of</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Wine</strong>: <strong>Moving</strong> <strong>Forward</strong>” at Conrad Manila’s<br />
Gallery C runs from August 30 to October 22, 2022. For more<br />

art, masters Hieronymus Bosch <strong>and</strong> Jan van Eyck.<br />
With a preference for acrylic on canvas, Sagaran’s first<br />
online exhibit was in partnership with <strong>Art</strong>PH Online during<br />
the height of the global p<strong>and</strong>emic. Entitled ‘Vespa History<br />
Series,’ the online exhibit featured 9 iconic models of the<br />
Italian br<strong>and</strong>. The online exhibit garnered much success <strong>and</strong><br />
