New Works In Oil
I see rainbows even in darkness.
When I was 18 I loved roaming the streets of Cubao at night, taking in the lights and the shadows, marveling at how colors look different from what they do in the daytime, passing by workers closing up shop, listening to their conversations and their dreams, merging with the district before going home and processing my observations in the privacy of my own room.
In this exhibit I revisit those nights and see how "closing time" can also mean "retirement" for myself and my former classmates of 4-F Elans, which celebrates its 50th year. It is an exciting time in life because the night never shows up treasures and surprises until someone shines light on them.
Most of these paintings depict scenes from my neighborhood, in Cubao. It is the height of the Philippine summer, and people are switching from incandescents to fluorescents to dispel the heat and generate the kind of brightness they can work by, and read by, and write by, and paint by, and see themselves all the better by.
I walk the night. Come, walk with me.
