MANILA, Philippines - Salvador Convocar combines figuration and abstraction with his characteristic bravura in “Characters, Creatures and Critters” March 3-14 at 1/of Gallery, Serendra, Bonifacio Global City (tel. 9013152).
The show exhibits once again Convocar’s singular mastery of mixed media. Influenced by Louise Nevelson, Convocar’s works are really mixed-media-on-canvas approximations of the Russian-American’s sculptures.
Grid-like and multilayered, with rich forms emerging and overlapping in what appears like a geometrical quilt, Nevelson’s works are intensely felt explorations of space and sites. They seem a miniature world with its complex of flora and fauna, widths and walls.
Convocar’s works expand the space and are less constricted in composition. His colors are an industrial wash and a metallic rust, midway between monochrome and polychrome. Nevelson’s works call attention to their structure, Convocar’s to their “made-up-ness.”
But instead of Nevelson’s seeming cold detachment, a mask for her intensity, Convocar is unflaggingly engaged, almost childlike. His canvases are filled with human figures that are part whimsical, part enigmatic, framed by color washes and archaic symbols and patterns.
In his new series, the figures have become cartoonish, the colors not so much industrial as pastoral.
The naturalist streak seems evident in the subjects: birds with their wings graphically sketched like metal parts and wires, horses with their flanks and hooves like metal braces.
It is easy to see that Convocar is trying to strike a balance between the natural and the mechanical. He appears to betray the artist’s inexorable bent toward the romantic.
The new tendency may be wishful thinking since even nature has to suffer from climate change and other excesses of manufacturing overdrive and industrial pollution. Can the artist’s romantic spirit save the day for nature?
Convocar in his works insists that the artist’s calling and mission remain valid. The artist will forever paint natural landscapes, even if such are already tainted by industrial fallout. The spirit of the artist lives on, come postmodern hell or high water.
