Alex Ordoyo, Domeng Sinulid, Herbert Pajarito, the artists of Galerie Francesca’s “Ode to the Masters” appear to be consistent with their figurative abstractionist predecessors namely Vicente Manansala, Ang Kiukok, Arturo Luz among others, in their predilection for recreating a figurative pictorial plain replete with lines, joyfully belabored with the aesthetic qualities of baroque in the sense that they are both overwhelmingly sensory that they evoke seemingly paradoxically the emotional and the spiritual.
Aside from continuing the conversation of figurative abstraction that was started by the Neo-Realists in the 1950’s, this exhibition presents to new artists to our viewers and collectors who bring new ways of representing the image.
“Ode to the Masters” runs from July 14-30, 2023 at Galerie Francesca, Megamall.
