Clark showcases Kapampangan artist's works

The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) is currently holding an exhibit for Kapampangan artist Dennis Sun at the Clark Museum, which started on Friday, 13 February 2026.

With the theme "WORDS, COLORS, & BEYOND: My 40‑Year Creative Journey in the Land of the Rising Sun," the exhibit is part of CDC’s Public Exhibition Program.

The exhibit features more than 100 works spanning fine art, illustration, graphic design, publishing, and cultural projects in the Philippines and Japan.

CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera called the event a homecoming. “It’s homecoming to a home where everybody is happy that you’re home,” she said, adding that Kapampangans are “blessed with talent” recognized not only in Pampanga or the Philippines, but worldwide.

Sun’s career includes collaborations with The Japan Times, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, NHK, and Tokyo Disneyland. He is the founder of Jeepney Press, the longest‑running Filipino community publication in Japan, and recipient of the SM Global Pinoy Award and the Most Outstanding Kapampangan Award (MOKA).

“Art is about people. Art is about stories. Art is about trying to understand the world. And sometimes surviving it,” Sun said. He pledged part of the exhibit’s proceeds to the Aeta community, urging visitors: “Hindi po masamang mag‑uwi ng sining, mas masama po ang umuwi ng walang sining sa buhay.”

The retrospective runs until March 8, 2026, at the Clark Museum. Complementing the exhibit are workshops and talks at the Clark Visitors’ Center, all at 3:00 PM:

• Feb 14: Couples’ Art Workshop — Lines, Forms, and Colors

• Feb 21: Art Talk — My Journey in Art

• Feb 28: Life in Japan Talk

• Mar 7: Art Talk and Workshop — Japanese Etegami

Participants are advised to bring their own materials.
