When art is sweeter the second time around

Hot on the heels of his first solo exhibition after more than 30 years, world-renowned Filipino artist Rodolfo Gan recently staged his second solo exhibit titled Prism 2 at Finale Art File in Makati City. Attended by personalities in the local art scene, the exhibit showcased a collection of 11 paintings, highlighting Gan’s mastery in using the airbrush as his signature method in producing square abstract paintings that evoke balance, lightness, and transparency of pure geometric lines and forms. Described as timeless and dynamic, critical and introspective, yet always forward-looking, his works reflect on the traditions of modernism, cubism, and geometrism. Considerably a study of light, Gan's paintings show how fine mists of gradient color give way to decisive lines and rugged edges bending into box-like structures to explore emotional and mental landscapes. Gan has taken inspiration from the works of Philippine modern art pioneers Fernando Zobel, Lee Aguinaldo, and Roberto Chabet,
