Line Never Lies
18 January-17 February 2010
G/F West Wing Gallery
UP Vargas Museum
The UP Jorge B. Vargas Museum commences its 2010 calendar of events with Line Never Lies, an exhibition of old and new drawings by Augusto “Gus” Albor, on 18 January, 4pm at the G/F West Wing Gallery. Featuring selected works from 1974 to 2009, the artist takes us into his artistic journey over the years in exploring various media to express his inner thoughts and emotions. Albor is known for his exceptional grasp of the language of abstraction in translating ideas and concepts into visual metaphors. In this exhibition, the artist seeks to challenge the conventional perception and approach to drawings by a gathering of familiar subjects such as figure, landmark, landscape, and object, but articulated in a variety of materials and surfaces. Going beyond the limits of ink and paper, Albor’s drawings offer us more possibilities: crayon, watercolor, and charcoal on wood, metal, sand, earth and concrete.
Exhibition runs until 17 February. For more information, you may contact the UP Vargas Museum at (02) 928-1927 (direct line), (02) 981-8500 loc. 4024 (UP trunkline), or send us an email at vargasmuseum@gmail.com
