Leon Gallery continues to hold auctions in its digital platforms with its Leon Exchange Online Auction 16 set at 11 a.m. from July 18 to 19.
The leading auction house features various pieces in its catalog, from celebrated paintings and unique sculptures to antique furniture, silver pieces, and essential maps. All bidding will be purely online at www.leonexchange.com.
Vibrant works of Filipino women artists such as Lydia Velasco [JND1] and Norma Belleza [JND2] are notable highlights in the catalog. They are known for depicting women figures as main subjects, celebrating womanhood in vivid colors and expressive features.
Cesar Buenaventura’s romantic Philippine countryside and landscape paintings are featured. Also included are picturesque depictions of places abroad by Cebuano artist Romulo Galicano [JND3] with his refined impressionistic style.
The highlighted nude drawing of National Artist Cesar Legaspi [JND4] was a special gift to the present owner from the esteemed Doreen and Wili Fernandez. Capturing the indigenous spirit, Galo B. Ocampo’s [JND5] Mindanao Danceshows his signature Cubist and muralist techniques.
Captivating portraits in which timeless beauty is captured are also included in the online auction: Master portraitist and National Artist Fernando Amorsolo’s Portrait of a Woman in a Terno and Study of a Mother and Child [JND6] as well as Oscar Zalameda’s Portrait of a Lady.
Wood furniture is placed at center stage. Innovative Filipino master furniture maker Benji Reyes’s cabinets [JND12] from his Siklat collection and a pair of silliness by revered craftsman Osmundo “Omeng” Esguerra are up for grabs.
Silver pieces are the main highlights as well. Set to impress are the sterling silver tea set and silver candelabras for one’s elegant table setting[JND13] . Two impressive Qing Dynasty temple jars on a pair of lacquered pedestals are also set for the auction.
“One can indulge his or her taste for the beautiful items at various price points at the upcoming online auction and all that from one’s armchair or boudoir. The online auction gives clients the convenience of bidding through their mobiles, tablets, or laptops, without having to trek to where physical auctions happen,” enthuses Leon Gallery Director Jaime Ponce de Leon. “This convenience makes online auctions at lower starting bids—but no less fabulous pieces—trending.”
