Summit Hotel Greenhills, in collaboration with Artablado, proudly announces the launch of The Red Gallery; Hues of Abundance, a solo exhibit by abstract artist Dame Matibag.
Opening on September 21, 2024 at Café Summit, the exhibit will run until November 17, 2024.
The Red Gallery is a dynamic new concept at Summit Hotels, inspired by the bold “Happy Red” color branding that symbolizes passion and cravings. This gallery initiative takes its cue from San Juan City, renowned for its vibrant art scene, and integrates it into the hotel experience.
The Red Gallery reflects Summit Hotels’ commitment to blending local culture with contemporary experiences. As modern travelers seek unique, experience-based lodging, Summit Hotels responds by weaving art and culture into its offerings. The gallery enhances the guest experience by transforming dining into a shared journey of discovery, fostering a sense of togetherness through art and food.
Under the campaign name “Art Journey to the Summit,” The Red Gallery Series will spotlight six artists over the year, each featured for two months. Each showcase will include 12-14 paintings.
“It will be complemented by a special food or drink offering at Café Summit, crafted to align with the artist’s style,” said Angelo Ascue, General Manager of Summit Hotel Greenhills. “We are thrilled to present this collaboration that celebrates art and dining as a holistic experience for our guests.”
This season, we are delighted to present Dame Matibag, an abstract minimalist painter, as our inaugural artist. A self-taught Filipino-British artist and young mother, Dame’s works will be on display from September to November.
Dame Matibag, a mother of three, began painting as a hobby and form of expression. Raised in the UAE, she now shares her vibrant works through her Instagram gallery, @artbydame. Her art reflects her personal journey and growth, showcasing the beauty of abundance in every stroke. Dame’s inspiration comes from her appreciation for life’s ebb and flow which is apparent in her artworks. She showcases her intuitive designs of lines, shapes, and textures, incorporating neutral and earthy tones to evoke a sense of calm and balance.
“Abundance is not just about having more—it’s about embracing the richness of life’s experiences, both big and small. Through my art, I aim to convey that mindset of positivity, growth, and balance,” said Dame Matibag, Artist. “Each piece in this collection is a reflection of my journey, where every line and texture tells a story of resilience and beauty. I invite everyone to join me at Summit Hotel Greenhills and immerse themselves in a vibrant celebration of life through art and the culinary creations at Café Summit.”
Robinsons Hotels & Resorts has always believed in the immense potential of Filipino artists. “Through the artworks displayed in our properties, we not only pave the way for greater awareness of the beauty and power of art but also enhance the aesthetic experience of our hotel interiors. Art has the ability to inspire, and we are proud to showcase it as part of our commitment to both culture and hospitality,” said Barun Jolly, Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager of Robinsons Hotels & Resorts.
The exhibit is open to the public daily from 6 AM to 10 PM. Don’t miss the chance to experience Dame Matibag’s compelling and colorful creations at Café Summit, Summit Hotel Greenhills.
