What You Dream is What You Get

Secret Fresh was born from a passion for collecting. What was once a childhood pastime had become a hub for mining new talent in the cross pollinating fields of graffiti, comics, film, animation, music, architecture, fine art and design. This commitment has grown to facilitate and showcase further this thriving field through its gallery. Located in Ronac Art Center, the primary hub for contemporary street fashio n, design and lifestyle, and a landmark of innovative architecture, Secret Fresh likewise, is a pioneer in engaging local and foreign artists, both emerging and established ones, for collaborations on limited edition art toys and prints, coming up with truly contemporary pieces that are an alchemical mix of art and design, craft and commodity, timelessness and currency. This engagement extends to having monthly exhibits of artists not limited to the traditional media, but to those who are daring to venture into exploring new forms that spark fresh dialogue and perspectives on the contemporary urban experience. This endeavor would hopefully herald a new era of appreciating art beyond its conventional boundaries. Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. In 2020, Yip ventured into designer toys, with the IP Bubble Butt Girl (BBG) and Cabbit. About BBG A cute yet angry, moody yet determined character. Her designs have been featured in international custom shows and commercial projects such as Mercedes Benz (Singapore), Levis (Shanghai, China), Secret Fresh (Manila, Philippines). Like this angry kid, who can be whoever she wants to be because the world is her oyster. I hope that bbg will continue inspiring you and gives you the courage to chase your dreams and passion despite the current circumstances that you are in. About Cabbit Despite its somewhat surly stance, with arms folded in contemplative reserve and legs drawn in an almost protective curl, the Cabbit's true spirit is anything but aloof. A silent sentinel, its softness of fur is matched only by the tenderness of its soul, a softness that belies the tough exterior. The heart-shaped nose is the symbol of its silent vow: to be a soft refuge in a hard world. Although its posture might suggest a creature made for solitude, the Cabbit thrives on connection—albeit in its own, quiet way. It's said that on moonlit nights, the Cabbit's silhouette can be seen perched atop the city's rooftops,
