Heart Evangelista and Brandon Boyd's collaborative art prints will be released this week
Heart Evangelista has announced that her collaborative art prints with Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd’s collaborative art prints will be released this week.
According to her recent Instagram post, the prints will be available for purchase starting July 14 at 10 a.m. (Manila time) through Secret Fresh Gallery.
Titled “neon people,” these prints will be available in two sizes: an 18x33 inch signed edition and a 9x16 inch embossed edition. These are also available to fans worldwide.
Heart and Brandon first met in August 2021 to start working on their collaborative project. This project is done under the Moonlight Arts Collective, a virtual gallery co-founded by Brandon.
In an interview last year, Heart shared that she started the painting during the early days of the lockdown in the Philippines. It was the first time she tried a free-flowing painting style.
She also said that she did the painting with an advocacy in mind.
“In our country, it’s really, really bad now and I’ve been doing my part secretly, whatever. But I needed something that gave me like a jumpstart, and I wasn’t sure if somebody was gonna buy my painting because it’s so huge,” Heart said in the video.
“But I needed money to buy tablets because a lot of people couldn’t go to school. [They] don’t have cellphones or tablets and that’s the only way they can go to school," she added.
Fortunately, the painting was bought and Heart was able to buy 500 tablets.
For Brandon’s part of the project, he said that he loves painting eyes and followed what Heart was going for.
“I love how you left some of [the people in the painting] with one eye and so I kind of just ran with that. I painted some of them like almost crying, eyes down. And I caught some of your brush strokes with my acrylic graffiti pens,” he said. “I kind of ran with your idea and your vibe and tried to infuse a little bit of my observation of your painting.” —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
