Print graphic artist and award-winning painter Resty Tica mounts One on One, an exhibition of works combining traditional mixed media techniques with archival giclee printing. Opening on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at the newly opened Galerie OneWorkshop in LRI Design Plaza, the collection comprises the first one-man show of this abstract artist, whose work employs the use of both brush and stylus.
Tica's playful pieces, which range in size from a foot-and-a-half to six feet tall, attract at first sight as abstract expressionist frolics with a pinch of pop art. After the initial impact, the viewer finds each print or painting inviting him to take a closer, lingering look at the strokes, shapes and swirls, occasionally interspersed with odd bits of text. The collection's overall effect is powerful yet understated, able to draw a viewer in and take him on a visual joyride across each mounted surface.
No stranger to the gallery scene or the winner's podium, Tica has participated in several noteworthy group exhibitions. His numerous achievements include the Grand Prize of the PLDT-DPC Telephone Directory Cover Art Competition, the Artist of the Year Award of the TUP Fine Arts Gawad Pagkilala sa Sining, and finalist honours at the Shell National Art Competition, and the MADE Awards. When not in the studio or art gallery, Tica is a graphic artist for ABS-CBN.
One on One by Resty Tica runs until April 27, 2010 at Galerie OneWorkshop, Suite 324, LRI Design Plaza, Nicanor Garcia Street (Reposo), Bel-Air II, Makati City. Gallery hours are from 10am to 7pm daily except Sundays. For inquiries, call 836-8799, e-mail inquiry@owg.cc, or visit www.owgcc.
