ABOUT THE WORK

In Charito Bitanga's works, a convergence of factors brought an aesthetic reinvigoration into reality. What became central to her art was the concept of motion in a two pre-dimensional medium. Motion serves as the swaying imperative in her mature art. Bitanga accepted the fact that she was indeed working in a modified form of futurism - lyrical, graceful rhythmic. She retained the augustness of shape and agility of line. In the pursuit of motion as the animating force of her paintings, Bitanga’s art took its own propulsion and drove her to a chapter of artmaking that can only be described as flaring, jubilant, analytic, but in a way that was always controlled and disciplined.
