But that's not all! Shangri-La Plaza's galleries have curated a series of must-see art events that you won't want to miss. At Gallery BiG, you can catch Renditions of Epicurean Delights, a vibrant collection of Cubist-inspired drawings by New York-based Fil-Am physician and nuclear medicine expert Dr. Wilfrido Sy. This exhibit runs until February 24 and features works from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, capturing the era's ethos of seeking pleasure and worldly delights.

Galerie Stephanie is offering a triple treat this month with three captivating exhibitions. Swimming in my Head by Indonesian artist Imam Santoso uses a surrealistic palette to color the mundane, while Breaking to Mend by Brazil-born pop surrealist Ciane Xavier explores human relationships through handmade porcelain plates. Don't miss What We Carry, What We Grow, which showcases the intricate works of Filipino visual artists Shireen Co, Jem Magbanua, and Thea Quiachon, alongside Italian artist-anatomist Nunzio Paci. These exhibitions are on view until March 2 at Level 6, East Wing.

For those who love contemporary art, Cartellino presents In the Dust of This Planet, an exhibition featuring the collage works and paintings of Marybob Arce and Regina Reyes.
