Jerry araos sculptor charter center
I thought of writing today about one of Philippines pride Maestro Jerry Araos. What a great way to celebrate with a dream moment yesterday afternoon with sculptor, gardener and write r.
The sixties and the seventies became
His works, his words and his company enchanted me. The whole viewing experience is not only meant for the eyes but for all the senses, r efreshingly uplifting.. A Filipino pride! Mr Jerusalino Araos in his workshop. Jerry utilizes old weathered wood, planks, beams, stairs, architectural relics from demolished houses, and tree trunk debris to create beautiful and functional works of art.
Upon entering his living room, my eyes focused on the 4 pieces white, black, yellow and green of Mitra chairs -purchased in Germany- in a sea of wooden furniture and art works. Luklukan Chair. Just what is a non atrocious chair? Jerry gives us a lecture. The carved seat of the luklukan allows the lap to fall away from the torso. This allows the person to breathe deeply even when seated and prevents the compression of the internal organs when the lap is perpendicular or at a more acute angle to the torso.
This forces the sitter to support himself on the sitbones, straighten the spine and thus relieve the lower back of stress. The pre-eroded form of the seat eases the constriction of the femoral arteries on the thigh. The back is supported by a curved backrest. Used as a chair, the sculpture affords a feeling of well-being.
