VERY ABSTRACT AND HYPERFIGURATIVE





AltroMondo Presents Rm De Leon’s “Very Abstract and Hyperfigurative ”

This month, RM De Leon continues his examination of abstraction in this solo exhibition featuring recent works on canvas. Compiling images taken from various cartoon movies and series, De Leon collapses them in order to dislodge their representational moorings. By interrupting and warping the image in this manner, De Leon turns the figurative into the abstract and presents questions regarding the currency of abstract art in the face of a world of loaded imagery, hypertext and hypercontextuality—a term employed in internet programming that is now being used to refer to the concentrated overlays of interpretations that are potentially present in a single word or act.

De Leon’s wry sense of humor is not lost in this analytic pursuit. The cartoon characters he implodes are alternatingly awkward and grotesque, lively one moment and dilapidated in the next. Here the discursive meets the slapstick and the two walk, trip, and tumble with an ease that speaks of meticulous balancing on De Leon’s part.

The exhibition opens on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 6pm in AltroMondo Gallery located on the 3rd floor of Greenbelt 5 at the Ayala Center. The show runs until August 18, 2011.
