Philexcel Business Park President Ariella Nasser-Moskovitz (right) and visiting Brazilian neo-pop artist Romero Britto cut the ribbon at the inauguration of the Jack R. Nasser collection of the Philexcel Art Center located within the Philexcel Business Park in Clark Freeport, Angeles City, Pampanga.

Finally opened to the viewing public, the said collection consists of paintings from Filipino artists representing the Mabini Art genre, a Philippine art form once disparaged by local patrons but which of late has been receiving deserved appreciation. The collection is a result of Philexcel founder the late Jack Nasser’s 60 years of patronage of Mabini artworks.

Special guest at the launch was internationally renowned Brazilian neo-pop artist Romero Britto, whose 12 paintings were also exhibited at the west wing of the Philexcel Art Center for a limited time only. Britto’s visual expression of hope and happiness – mixing influences from cubism with pop art and graffiti to create an iconic style – is likened to the Filipino’s cheerful outlook in life.
