“Amidst Linear Terrains” by Barbara Angeles on view at Galleria Nicolas Glorietta
Exhibit runs July 22 to 31Barbara Angeles’ “Amidst Linear Terrains” delves deep into the natural world by amplifying the shapes found in nature through line, contours, and silhouettes. Her abstracted landscapes are considered interpretations of the physical and metaphysical, envisioning earthly dimensions and properties as multidimensional pictographs of an imagined environment.
With Angeles’ amplified awareness of forms and figures, powerful compositions are illustrated-- underlying with creative energy and intrinsic vibration. The works are meant to be intimately experienced as Angeles intended them to be, suggesting close proximation in order to appreciate and ponder on the details that result to its entirety. The compositions are mysterious yet atmospheric, controlled yet liberating, jagged yet consistent -- a reflection of the artist’s sentiments and introspections on art and life.
Barbara Angeles’ linear landscapes, through her use of parallels and space, is a representation of accessibility and openness. The viewer is invited to sink in, pass through the lines, and willingly drift into acquiescence. [by Grace Ng]
