Philipp Ines
Pinilakang Tabing
February 16- March 1, 2010
Paseo Gallery – Megamall
Philipp Ines' first solo show opens at Paseo Gallery
Pinilakang Tabing, the first one-man exhibit of new painter and art director Philipp Ines, will be shown at Paseo Gallery from February 16 to March 1, 2010.
Pinilakang Tabing's oil on canvas paintings fuse together elements of technology and tradition, history and modernity, cinema and painting. Rendered in a nascent and transitional style combining realism and stylization, the works juxtapose brightly-hued neon laser lights with sepia stills sourced from vintage Filipino cinema.
Philipp Ines studied Painting at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts in Diliman, Quezon City and was among the finalists at the 1999 Shell National Student Art competition. Ines worked as an art director at a major broadcasting company for six years before deciding to go full-time into painting in 2009.
The artist has been developing this series of works mixing the vintage and the modern since early 2008, when Ines first produced paintings simulating the effects of neon laser lights used in mainstream media and the advertising industry. Often, Ines sets these vivid lights over a backdrop of monochromatic vignettes from the past, whether fictive or documentary, fusing nostalgia and novelty into a single work.
In Pinilakang Tabing, Ines' intentionally sources images from dated Philippine films, particularly photographs from LVN film studio productions of the late 1930s to 1940s. Through referencing a then-incipient Philippine film industry and incorporating a technology associated with modernity, the artist creates ambivalent scenes where the line defining what is contemporary and modern is blurred, crossed over, and questioned.
Pinilakang Tabing by Philipp Ines opens on February 16, 2010 at the Paseo Gallery, 4th floor, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City . The show runs until March 1, 2010. For inquiries, please contact the gallery at (632) 7065514 or Mobile Number : +639228872736 , e-mail : paseogallery@yahoo.com
