Resort gallery to feature abstract pieces
THE Bluewater Gallery will present the exhibition “Abstrac|SIO|n, which will feature artworks by Ce-buano abstractionist Dennis “Sio” Montera from Oct. 20 to Nov. 17.
Montera continues to break new ground with this new collection of works employing thickly dissolved and overlapped layers of acrylic, oil and asphalt that alternate between bright and muted tones.
To appreciate the paintings, the complete collection must be viewed as a whole—they become visual scribbling in an incomplete diary, each element representing words and sentences in a larger visual narrative of the artist’s life and adventures.
Style
In this body of works, modulations of color are stretched over infinite or calculated geometric space, encouraging views to examine closely, the tonal presence of partly covered hues and textures as they sit in delicate balance in both symmetrical and asymmetrical planes.
The show marks the artist’s sixth solo exhibition and his second for the current year.
Schedule
The Bluewater Gallery is located in Maribago Blue-water Beach Resort in Lapu-Lapu City and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends.
Non-resort guests are requested to call Juliet Amazona at 492-1808 or 232-5411 and arrange for an exhibit viewing appointment and for inquiries.
