Don't Turn Off the Music

For days we've blogged about Art. Visual Arts - sculpting, photography, digital arts, and, of course, painting. The Xavier Alumni Art Guild has its share of another form of art, and one that is not to be overlooked by the hype and buildup to April 30th's exhibit: Music

XAG's own 'father' of its music heritage is Robert Yulo.

Yes, Seb Chua is XAG's yoda of sculpture, while Mikko Sison, arguably, is one of XAG's most gifted artists in painting (especially large vibrant mesmerizing pieces). Seb has his heir apparent - Kylo, already well into his own brand of inspiring sculpture himself, while Alex, Fred and Jed Tan has dabbled into acrylics, & pen and ink with their own twist. Ditto for Owen Tiam in photography.

On the 'quiet' side of the XAG front is no other than Robert "Bob" Yulo - an immensely gifted musician whose talent is often overlooked because of his quiet demeanor, and propensity for humility. Most, if not all of the XAG artists are humble in nature anyway- knowing full well that Xavier was never known to produce the likes of what we're about to see on April 30th.





But Bob will always be known for his 'easy to the ears' music. Selfless, and tireless in his work, he has always given his support to the Xavier Alumni Art Guild since its inception. We should be focusing more on his work in the days to come.

The beauty of an Artwork is not necessarily gauged by the virtuousness of it's work, but also by the nature of it's maker.

  1. Thank you Rudy. More than just a medium for artistic expression, XAG is the inspiration to be of service not just for ourselves but for the Xaverians yet to be born - the future men for others. I am glad to be a part of it. Keep the fire burning. Aeternum Lux!
