NOW Gallery Shows Recent Works by Rock Drilon

moving on #8 acrylic on canvassNOW Gallery will be holding an exhibition of recent works by abstractionist Rock Drilon. The show opens on May 23 and will run up to June 8, 2013.

The show features three series of works by Drilon: recent paintings in oil on canvas, abstract drawings and nude sketches. The artist produced these three different series simultaneously, shifting between painting and drawing, figuration and abstraction.

The works in the show are an extension of Drilon’s current body of work as an abstractionist, indicated by the presence of familiar forms and the artist’s usual visual codes. Filling up the Main Gallery space are Drilon’s recent paintings, which highlight his continuing fascination and exploration of abstraction. The paintings in this series still employ forms that have appeared in his earlier works: lines, loops, brush strokes converging to form inchoate masses.

In contrast to the paintings in the show are Drilon’s series of small drawings, exhibited in the gallery’s two smaller and more intimate spaces. One room houses his series of nude sketches, based on live models. The other …

Gising

forteshowposterIt is only after the awakening that one realizes that the state of sleep is over – a travel, serendipitous or planned, from dreamscape to the reality. Six artists come together to depict through their art what it feels like to travel across – or sometimes, stay in between – the faint borders of night and day, past and present, mistakes and realizations,  observations and recognitions, provocation and action, and stasis and motion.

Gising, featuring works by Annaleah Aldaba, Dodge Carpio, Alee Garibay, Clara Herrera, Issay Rodriguez, and Jose Tanierla, is presented to you by Forte Coffeehouse. Group show opens on May 25, 7 pm, and runs until June 8 at Forte Coffeehouse (120 Maginhawa St., Teachers Village East, Diliman, Quezon City).

 For more information, contact Pat Rodriguez at rodriguez.apb@gmail.com.

Capistrano / Eslao / Garcia at Now Gallery

Three individual exhibits will open at Now Gallery on May 4, 2013 by three emerging artists from the Manila art scene. The three solo simultaneous shows will run until May 20, 2013.

Alvin Capistrano: God’s toilet

Alvin Capistrano’s exhibit “God’s Toilet” presents layers of random images from book, magazine or internet and from other sources. An artist who was influenced by heavy metal when he was a kid, Capistrano’s imagery revels in the unedified, the common and even the vulgar and the trashy. In “God’s Toilet,” he underscores the rawness of his art by imitating the street artists of the 1980s.

 Jonas Eslao: Curbside of the mind

Jonas Eslao’s new works are brave explorations of the limits of both the intellect and the senses. He chose wallflower animals as his subject, pulling them out of the mind’s margins, inviting the viewer to pause and gaze at the beauty of the wild. He distorts and contorts to create truth through illusion. The artist stripped off his mind of conventional techniques as seen in his offbeat choice …
