Pedro Garcia II continues his romantic and impressionistic streak with his new works that tackle the everyday life –in this case, playing of a musical instrument — with an inspired note and a quiet nobility. Focusing on the sole subject of a violinist at play, Garcia amplifies his fascination with musicians who exemplify discipline, consistency and commitment. The musician portraits were done with photographs as reference, using a lighting style that approximates chiaroscuro. The new works present Garcia’s updated rendering of figure which is an evolution of his older style.

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 conventional techniques as seen in his choice of method to show depth, showing it through manipulation of lines, instead of the usual tonal values. This can be seen in the works “Wandering in the Midst of Apprehension”, “In Ascension” and “Tiered Frontier”.

Alvin Capistrano’s exhibit “God’s Toilet” presents layers of random images from book, magazine, 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 channeling the spirit of the street artists of the 1980s.
