Secret Fresh; a fresh taste of art

I recently stalked BigBoy Cheng so I can contact him for a feature and so we can shoot at Ronac Art Center: One of my favorite places in the world. So yeah, all the things I love are there; Charlies, Yoggle, Secret Service which carries awesome Vans shoes, Obey x Bunker and Secret Fresh- a reaaaally cool toystore and gallery. It's paradise for an artist like me, and surely you will enjoy staying there too!

Secret Fresh will be joining the 2011 toycon Manila at SM Megatrade Hall on June 18 and 19.

To be launched this 1st of July 5pm at Secret Fresh, the toys, Topsy Turvy by Amanda Visell and Don Pedro Calavera by Carlos East.

I have been eyeing this babies since I saw them at Secret Fresh. You guys know how much I love basketball and this is definitely a manifestation of my little madness. Rose is too cute, he looks like T.I.:)

Too bad I didn't buy one. Yup, you can buy em per piece.

Here are some photos I took during our shoot at the Secret Fresh gallery

about Secret Fresh

Secret Fresh was born from a passion for collecting. What was once a childhood pastime had become a hub for mining new talent in the cross pollinating fields of graffiti, comics, film, animation, music, architecture, fine art and design. This commitment has grown to facilitate and showcase further this thriving field through its gallery.

Located in Ronac Art Center in San Juan, the primary hub for contemporary street fashion, design and lifestyle, and a landmark of innovative architecture, Secret Fresh likewise, is a pioneer in engaging local and foreign artists, both emerging and established ones, for collaborations on limited edition art toys and prints, coming up with truly contemporary pieces that are an alchemical mix of art and design, craft and commodity, timelessness and currency.

This engagement extends to having monthly exhibits of artists not limited to the traditional media, but to those who are daring to venture into exploring new forms that spark fresh dialogue and perspectives on the contemporary urban experience. This endeavor would hopefully herald a new era of appreciating art beyond its conventional boundaries.

Secret Fresh is also geared towards the works of those who are emerging from the street art scene and from established artists who are open to expanding their medium and artistic expression to the current modes of presentation, technique and materials, consequently broaching boundaries between the strictures of design and fine art, hence expanding the demographic of appreciation for both or from such resulting mix.
