Letras Y Figuras: A Graphic Design and Illustration Exhibit

OPENING NEXT WEEK: The VC 21 Block W, X, Y, Z, & VC 25 Z classes present Letras Y Figuras: A Graphic Design and Illustration Exhibit, opening at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, April 28 at the UP Fine Arts Gallery.

The exhibition will feature works on Letras Y Figuras, a genre of illustration during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. The tradition combined human figures with the letters of the alphabet and was spearheaded by Filipino painter Jose Honorato Lozano.

The students’ works depict Philippine culture through a variety of themes such as common traditions, national symbols, stories on daily lives of Filipinos such as commuting, and many more. These are executed both traditionally and digitally, as fulfillment of their course requirements in Visual Communication and Production Methods, in the form of posters and accordion books.

Letras Y Figuras: A Graphic Design and Illustration Exhibit will run from April 28 to May 15, 2026 at Gallery Two.

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The UP Fine Arts Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 9 AM to 4 PM, at the Arts and Design West Hall, College of Fine Arts, Diliman, Quezon City. For inquiries, message [email protected] or call +63-2-8981-8500 local 3988.
