Davao artistry today, may it be in traditional or contemporary practice is a flourishing creative endeavor, as manifested through the dynamic efforts of both established and emerging artists of the region. A strong demonstration of creativity vi-a-vis artistry that the city of Davao may offer.
These growing arts in traditional or contemporary practice can be specified in three prong as accorded by its given medium – space, time and combined arts.
Space arts deals with the visual ones, works that occupies space and apprehended visually in two or three dimensional manner. Two dimensional works are the graphic arts, painting and photography while the three dimensional ones are in sculptures and architecture. While time arts are all about works that exists through the element of time. Meaning, these works are appreciated in time. As such are music and literature. Moreover, the combined arts is associated with arts that deals with both time and space like theatre, dance and film.
Qualifying these arts does not stop in identifying them. The person or the artist is also a relevant agent in this variable. An agent responsible in creating or materializing the expression, and beyond the expression is perhaps a story to be told. However, aside from the context of creation, it is also relevant to observe the knowledge of the artist on a particular art. This knowledge is otherwise known as mastery or proficiency over the medium/material. It is the quality of having great facility and competence (Wordnet Database, Princeton University 2006). Therefore, mastery leads to a higher form of expression. An expression known to the very creator itself – the artist.
Thus ALAMPAT is coined, a vernacular word [Visayan] that is constantly associated with art and mastery. A word that is fitted with the flourishing artistry of Davao – as art is a good exemplar of life’s beauty [including its contrast] – giving way to ALAMPAT Productions.
