Fil-Am artist hold kut-kut workshops in Chicago
A Filipino-American artist introduced kut-kut in Chicago. Kut-kut is a process of painting using layers of paint, drying, scraping and composing to produce a piece of art, which is composed of abstract lines, profound texture and a delusion of 3-D space.
This form of art came from Visayas Region particularly in Samar, which the Filipino American Fed de Asis learned it from his father and grandfather and later on introduced it to other places. It was part of the “visit Philippines” program of the Department of Tourism. This was specially sponsored by the PACF (Philippine American cultural Foundation) for the Fil-Am youths in greater Chicago. The workshop was attended by more than 25 youths and adults.
Fred de Asis has studios in Chicago, Arlington Heights and New York. There are contact information on the article for those interested to help the said workshop.
