Artist comes home The last time I was with the late Edgar Cruz was in April when he invited me and another colleague, Danny Vibas, to the art exhibit of Jordan-based mixed media artist Elmer Dumlao at the Art Center of SM Megamall. The exhibit was titled “Ground Zero (An Artist Comes Home).” It was his very first exhibit in his country, thus, the title. “I wanted to make it kagulat-gulat somehow, thus, the title ‘Ground Zero’ na pang-atomic bomb ang tunog,” the 56-year old UST Atelier alumni said. The exhibit was for the benefit of the UST Atelier Alumni Association. Elmer, by the way, was Bagong Bayani awardee in 2011 and was named UST Outstanding Atelier Alumni in 2016. Elmer, who was art director of McCann Erickson Jordan (thanks to Greg Garcia who invited him to work there, he said). They worked for the Royal Protocol, in charge of repackaging the image of His Majesty King Abdullah II. Elmer was in charge of advertising and design. He started mounting art exhibits in Jordan, France and Dubai in 2011. His first exhibit in Jordan was opened by no less than the Royal Princess herself. Almost all the art pieces were sold-out. From then on, Elmer had art exhibits which showcased his artistry every year.
