Chance Encounters

All my photographs are about meetings and about coups de foudre - love at first sight. To do that type of photography, one must wipe the canvas clean to prepare for chance encounters, be open and aware to such moments, otherwise it becomes a cliché - already seen and expected.
Edouard Boubat

Chance Encounters

            Fitz Herrera
            Louie Ignacio
            Sio Montera
            Joy Rojas
            Cid Reyes
Fred Tan
and Oliver Ortega


Galerie Francesca presents Chance Encounters, an exhibition of six painters and a poet, whose works deal somehow, with chance.   Chance, is often viewed as a stroke of luck, and therefore, is often opposed to skill.  However, as this exhibit attempts to show, chance often works for the prepared mind.  Novelist and journalist Scott Anderson says, “History is often the tale of small moments—chance encounters or casual decisions or sheer coincidence—that seem of little consequence at the time, but somehow fuse with other small moments to produce something momentous, the proverbial flapping of a butterfly’s wings that triggers a hurricane.”

Artists Louie Ignacio, Cid Reyes, Joy Rojas, and Fred Tan, rely heavily on the beauty that fluid paint produces.  Working with the flow of paint on textured surfaces, these artists work in harmony with their medium, and the earth’s gravitational pull; to create dynamic abstract works which evoke emotion.  Their aesthetic choices are manifested through skillful use of chance as they flick, pour, mix and scrape paints of their peculiar palettes.  Collectively, their work exemplifies a deep respect and understanding of their medium, and a peculiar acceptance of it, resulting to working with it, instead of on it.

Sio Montero on the other hand is preoccupied with wear and tear as they manifest time’s passing.  His work involves scraping off and peeling off layers of paint, to show what lies beneath.  His wabi-sabi aesthetic seems to illustrate an acceptance of impermanence and the transitory nature of life.

Painter Fitz Herrera tries to create harmony by juxtaposing opposing visual elements – dull versus bright, colorful versus neutral, textured versus smooth, and sharp versus undefined.  In creating the works, each element is a reaction to something that is already there.  The end, of course, is like a tapestry of life, where harmony is achieved between these different and differing elements.

Oliver Ortega provides autopoetry, poems created from removing words from existing works by other artists.  Like the works of the painters, his poetry tries to mine the inner and hidden beauty of what is out there, and in plain sight.

Chance Encounters is presented by Galerie Francesca Festival Mall in Alabang located at Unit 3319 2nd Level Festival Mall Expansion Wing Civic Drive Filinvest Corporate City, Alabang Muntinlupa City 1770.  It is curated by Ricky Francisco.  It opens on October 7 and ends on Oct 19, 2018.  For inquiries please call (+632) 659-2667/ 5709495.

    Art Exhibit

    DATI
    Galerie Francesca presents
    Kiko Marquez and Christina Baltero

    “The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.” 
    ― 
    Milan Kundera, Ignorance




    I first met Kiko Marquez in an artists’ mentorship program.  He was the instigating artist, the one who was socially adept and full of ideas.  He formed a group of highly skilled, young artists from Bulacan, and brought them to an art patron’s notice, who resonated with him, and realized that with a little training, these artists might make a mark.  Together with the highly acclaimed social realist painter Mr. Renato Habulan, I was asked to work with them.  

    We would critique their technique, and push them to think artistically – to expand their visual vocabulary, and instill in them a sensitivity to the zeitgeist of our times.  And we were off to a very promising start as each of them regaled us with works that were technically adept and full of the bravura of youth.  But life happened.  And within barely a year, the program fell apart.  A few of the artists banded together and continued on their path of art.  Marquez set off, and started a family with Christina Baltero, who, with Marquez’ instructions, became a realist painter in the course of their deepening relationship.


    “Dati” is a story of redemption.  It is the visualization of the yearning to remember: for Marquez, it is to return to the simpler life of a childhood recalled; for Baltero, it is in celebration of the youth of their daughter as she outgrows her clothes by the month.  Both artists paint in realistically, but express their poesy quite differently.  Marquez uses the idiom of a closed glass jar to express the idea of protection and containment on the one hand, and fragility, in the other.  Precious memories are stored, but are always with a risk of being shattered.  In “Hagonoy” for example, Marquez appears to imply the waterways which crisscrossed the land of his childhood, where he would set paper boats on, and gleefully follow them as they meandered through his neighborhood, through rice fields, and fens. In the succeeding eleven works, we see how adeptly he manipulates oil to create the illusion of glass and water.  We see him successfully construct many layers of meaning through the objects he chooses to encase in these jars.  We see that the painter is a poet with his imagery, which he composes with flourish and confidence. We see how he captures light and transparency, gloss and fluidity, movement and stillness, with his adroit brushwork.  We see why Marquez is in the running for this year’s Philippine Art Awards, to which he already is a semi-finalist. 


    Baltero, on the other hand, presents a series of ten artworks, all of baby’s dresses, all her firstborn’s, to be precise.  Through simple composition, we see her loving attention to every moment symbolized by those dresses, as her child has worn them, and outgrew them.  We see the sentiments of an artist as mother, whose poetry is in the simple and quiet acceptance – celebrating the milestones of growth, while treasuring moments that too soon will be gone.  


    Through recollection and celebration, as evinced by these paintings in “Dati,” Marquez and Baltero return to the path of painting, in their own very unique ways.  Through this exhibition, we see both artists express their individuality, similar in technique, but quite differently in how they see the world.  Through “Dati”, we see not only memory at work, but each individual’s capacity to transcend the finitude of time through meaning-making, which, in its own way, is the vehicle of our collective salvation.
