“GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES Exhibition” Hong Kong
“GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES Exhibition”
“Dominic Rubio” “Tina Buchholtz”
Opening Reception on Tue 10th March 7pm
RUBIO Recently Filipino art works have been fetching high prices in international auctions, indicating that Philippine art is at long last taking its rightful place in the art world. This is certainly the case for Dominic Rubio. His works are inspired by the Philippines during the latter part of the Spanish and then the early American colonial period. Rubio’s concern is to capture the nostalgia and romanticism of these periods while giving them a modern sensibility and whimsical appeal.
A founding member of the Guevarra Group and a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas College of Fine Arts, Rubio has been painting for almost two decades. The artist lives and works in Manila.
BUCHHOLTZ The most important element of the pictures is the line. They cascade -sometimes in small runlets, or in large tracks -over the surface of the picture. The small tight pressed lines or the thick and generously placed short and powerful strokes create the direction. This unique way of building the picture creates the painting out of the bright or shaded thickness of the flow, out of the rhythm, which is closely connected to the colors. The pictures are filled with atmosphere, impressions, and different moods. The paintings are not impressionistic, but the use of rhythm and light is similar. The artist lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
The exhibition runs from 10th to 30th March 2009
