Marc Gaba’s latest show dubbed “Click: Paintings” is described by art critic Cid Reyes as “more emotionally composed and contained when viewed against a “retrospective” of Gaba’s works.” Reyes adds “While always intellectually engaging the viewer to ponder the riddle of Gaba’s enigmatic sphinx, the works can be relished for their purely optical suavity.”
In his Artist’s Statement, Gaba writes: “All my paintings are composed as poems. I have written poems as visual art; I make paintings as poems.”
On a series called “Pure Relations”, Cid Reyes comments that they “are Gaba’s exploration of how a shape demands a particular colour, and vice-versa. Not only do form and colour counterpoint each other’s dictate, they resolve what started as an internal conflict leading to each other’s obliteration, into a harmonious organic and geometric relationship.”
Click: Paintings will be on view starting July 10 until August 1, 2014 at Altro Mondo ∙ Arte Contemporanea, 3/L Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati.
