Entitled Territory, the exhibition showcases his body of work from 1969 \u2013 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt takes a second to get inspired, but it takes forever to get conceived images transformed and presented in a personal visual language.\u201d \u2013 Gus Albor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gus Albor, Born August 1948, has been a stalwart of the Philippine art scene since the 1970s. A graduate of the University of the East School of Music and Fine Arts and a recipient of a British Council study grant to the West Surrey College of Fine Art, his works have been shown in exhibitions in Germany, Italy, Japan, France, and the United States to name a few. Albor has also received many honors and distinctions, one of which is the prestigious CCP 13 Artist Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will be the biggest gathering of Gus Albor\u2019s works, occupying two of the Ayala Museum\u2019s galleries. Featured in Territory are oil on canvas paintings, mixed media works, paper-based illustrations, large-scale sculptures, and installation art works that manifests Albor\u2019s distinct partiality for minimal color registers, with extreme subtlety, soft transitions, and muted harmonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gathering close to two hundred works selected by the artist, the exhibition also displays a selection of figurative drawings which shows the artist\u2019s range of cognitive, and tactile dissertations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe art of Albor had to surmount the pleasurable sensuous treatment of his canvases, his fine eye for the distinct subtleties of texture and light, sensitive to the stirrings of fluid pigment and the impulses of his hand. While many abstract artists may contend that they are creating artworks as objects, Albor regards his paintings as emanations of his conviction and concepts, indeed an exposition of his existence. \u201c<br>\u2013 Cid Reyes, Immaterial: The Art of Gus Albor, 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the exhibition Gus Albor says \u201cI expect them to see the evolution and how I explore my field; how I explore and experiment. I would consider my show a confession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Territory: Gus Albor \u2013 Works from 1969-2018 will be on show starting 27 November 2018 and will be on view until 10 February 2019 at the Ground Floor and Third Floor Galleries of the Ayala Museum.
