₱50,000.00
The Diaphanous series by Romulo Olazo is considered as one of his most notable works. The paintings are done through the process of overlapping layers of paint scraped on canvas developed from a collagraph technique in printmaking. The series seeks to explore the behavior of light in its purest state, each curvilinear shape possessing its unique sensuous experience. While Untitled (1974) is not distinctively part of the Diaphanous series, this artwork displays Olazo’s foray into deeper colors like purple and how it would behave with different tonal qualities.

In 1957, after returning from his graduate studies at the Cranbook Academy of Art in Michigan, Jose Joya audaciously took on new frontiers in abstract painting for Philippine art. Having been immersed in the principles and techniques such action painting and field painting of the American school of abstract expressionism, Joya experimented with gestural painting where he used it as a medium to record his imagination and own perception of reality. Dimensions of Fear (1965) is also a byproduct of the psychological and environmental complications of its time. Joya projected his search for a national identity with a freedom to explore new forms away from the constraints of tradition, such feelings that were amplified by the explosion of red and black on the canvas.
Ang Kiukok’s proclivity to portray his usual subjects in various compositions and themes is present in the still life, Red Table (1970). The lines in his paintings emphasize geometric forms that overlap with each other that fill up the canvas space and limit the perspective. The colors are rudimentary, and in this painting, it is limited to red, orange, white, and black. The effect reinforces the linear framework. This transforms the table into a distorted and fragmented image, reflecting Kiukok’s worldview full of angst and inner turmoil.
Anita Magsaysay-Ho’s subjects centered on women working in farms, fields, and marketplaces, captured in moments of labor. She depicted them with elongated necks, slanted eyes, hair wrapped in bandanas, and limbs bent at a contrapuntal form, yet despite the boldness of the figures, the gracefulness of the subjects radiated from the work. This grace stems from her meticulous technique of tidy brushwork, developed through egg tempera and layered glazes. Three Women with Baskets (1976), done in oil-on-canvas, forms part of her 25-painting “Inkblot Series” produced from the 1970s.
