‘Amidst Linear Terrains’

Barbara Angeles’ “Amidst Linear Terrains” delves deep into the natural world by amplifying the shapes found in nature through line, contours and silhouettes. Her abstracted landscapes are considered interpretations of the physical and metaphysical, envisioning earthly dimensions and properties as multidimensional pictographs of an imagined environment.

With Angeles’ amplified awareness of forms and figures, powerful compositions are illustrated– underlying with creative energy and intrinsic vibration. The works are meant to be intimately experienced as Angeles intended them to be, suggesting close proximation in order to appreciate and ponder on the details that result in its entirety. The compositions are mysterious yet atmospheric, controlled yet liberating, jagged yet consistent — a reflection of the artist’s sentiments and introspections on art and life.

Barbara Angeles’ linear landscapes, through her use of parallels and space, is a representation of accessibility and openness. The viewer is invited to sink in, pass through the lines, and willingly drift into acquiescence.

After years of becoming an art consultant, Angeles decided to create and share her own artworks to an audience. The medium she initially used was pastel, creating lines using vibrant and metallic colors applied by a very fine paint brush.

“Amidst Linear Terrains” by Barbara Angeles will be on view at Galleria Nicolas Glorietta from July 22 to 31. The Gallery is located at the 3/F Art Space, Glorietta 4, Ayala Center, Makati City.
