The Masters at Galleria Nicolas
An artist referred to as a Master indicates a standing within the art community that is both admired and respected. It is bestowed in recognition of the kind of practice that has come to define a certain method or aesthetic—not mere mastery of style, but so clear an identification that the artist has become synonymous with the movement or medium he represents.
So it is with the likes of Presidential Medal of Merit Awardee Juvenal Sanso and Expressionism, for instance; or National Artist Federico Aguilar Alcuaz and bold brushwork; Eduardo Castrillo and bronze and brass monuments; or Raul Isidro and abstraction; Ephraim Samson and watercolor; or Rudolf Gonzalez and landscapes. When these artists are mention, we no longer need to discuss the characteristics of their works, or the ways of the practice. Their names are already accepted as universal descriptors of their styles.
Galleria Nicolas examines the works of these artists in parallel dialogue with each other in this specially-curated exhibition that surveys a fantastic representation of each of these Masters in this years ManilArt2016 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura, Bonifacio Global City Taguig.
