Vibrant kaleidoscope
Franklin Caña, a visual artist and a member of The Saturday Group of Artists, continuously carves a unique niche for himself in the Philippine art scene. His style, which he playfully calls, “Cañaism,” is characterized by a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors., for instance, is a testament to his graphic design background. “I wanted to play with the overlapping colors.
“As a member, you have to paint continuously, and with that your style will emerge. My style all started when I was young while I was playing with the I would point it toward the sun and I would see many different colors and my imagination would run wild. So from there, even as a child, I had a chaotic mind and I imagined different things based on the colors I saw in the kaleidoscope. I didn’t even know the meaning of the kaleidoscope back then.
As The Saturday Group celebrates its 56th anniversary this year, Caña’s journey reminds us that legacy is not about the work we leave behind, but also the lives we touch along the way. He has always been open to teaching and learning from others, a philosophy that has been central the Saturday Group’s ethos.“I think in the art industry, there are many styles of painting—mine is Cañaism, and I will consider that as my legacy to the younger generation.
The Saturday Group of Artists, in partnership with Galerie Francesca, recently celebrated its 56th anniversary with “Legacy” at SM Megamall.
