Alex Ordoyo, Domeng Sinulid, Herbert Pajarito and other featured artists of Galerie Francesca’s “Ode to the Masters,” ongoing until July 30, draw inspiration from the esteemed masters such as National Artists Vicente Manansala, Ang Kiukok and Arturo Luz, among others.
Galerie Francesca presents “Ode to the Masters,” a group show celebrating the works of featured artists Alex Ordoyo, Herbert Pajarito, and Domeng Sinulid. Aside from continuing the conversation of figurative abstraction that was started by the Neo-Realists in the 1950’s, this exhibition presents new ways of representing such style .
Ordoyo, Sinulid, Pajarito and other featured artists of Galerie Francesca’s “Ode to the Masters” draw inspiration from their figurative abstractionist predecessors such as National Artists Vicente Manansala, Ang Kiukok and Arturo Luz, among others.
Ordoyo, a new artist to Galerie Francesca, breaks the image with seemingly random lines, with some bisecting each other or crossing each other every so often which, when viewed as a whole, reveal “a new reality” – a pictorial plane in monochrome.
Pajarito, one of the artists represented by Galerie Francesca, is also a MADE 2013 grand prize winner with an intricate signature style of sinuous, undulating lines creating lavishly colored, moving images, often of animals, plants and other natural things where, the artist insists, the presence of the divine is manifested.
Sinulid, the nom de plume of self-taught artist Jeffrey de la Cruz, is known for his layering of thread-like paint to create both image and volume. A new artist to Galerie Francesca, his works have been shortlisted as finalists in many regional art competitions and exhibited in various art fairs like Art in the Park, Xavier Art Fest, Sampayan Art Festival and Art Rocks.
“Ode to the Masters” runs until July 30 at Galerie Francesca at the SM Megamall.
