When you see those baldheaded figures, with their big round eyes, elongated and distorted limbs in muted earth colors— almost instinctively, you know they are made by Elmer Borlongan.
The exhibition, An Extraordinary Eye for the Ordinary, is a survey of Elmer Borlongan's body of works, in his 25 years as an artist. More than 200 art works, mostly in oil and acrylic, are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. Another room is devoted to Borlongan's sketches and drawings that are mostly studies of his paintings, reflecting his exquisite skill as a draughtsman.
