Description
Untitled
signed and dated 1992 (lower right)
oil on canvas
36” x 24” (91 cm x 61 cm)
This piece is accompanied by a certificate issued by Gisella Olmedo - Araneta confirming the authenticity of this lot
Odd and surreal — understatements in describing the disturbingly potent art of Onib Olmedo. Beyond gloom and melancholy, Olmedo’smodern renditions depict powerful scenes of distraught and anguish. The disfigurement of his subjects, all powerful thematic elementsthat conjure the perturbed air.
This very piece by the influential modernist, however, features a more serene setting — one bereft of human life. The lack of piercing, acerbic imagery is made up for by the wistful, pensive undercurrent. Ever welcoming is Olmedo’s glum world, inviting us into the scene to partake in the sorrowful longing.
Bittersweet is the tranquility in Olmedo’s world, as the peacefulness of this morsel of it cannot be without the very sorrow that pervades the artist’s every canvas.
