IN HIS TIME

IMPRESSIONIST JOE PICORNELL HOLDS RETROSPECTIVE SHOW AT SACRED HEART PARISH

Alternative Contemporary Art Studio pays tribute to Josie Maria Picornell, Cebu’s leading impressionist painter. Curated by JV Castro, In His Time: JM Picornell Retrospective will run from January 15, 2011 to February 5, 2011 at the Alternative Contemporary Art Studio, Sacred Heart, Parish, Cebu City.

The exhibition showcases pieces that capture the fleeting moments of time from his early works in the seventies to his recent masterpieces in the twenty-first century. His recognizable subjects—dilapidated buildings, rickety boats, messy street scenes, rusty houses, and old men—come alive in bright colors and deep intense strokes, reminiscent of Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Forty years JM Picornell is condensed in his first retrospective show.
