ABOUT THE WORK

For Ramon Orlina, glass has the most potential in expressing his visual imagery. His abstract sculptures are composed of a series of angles through creating sharp edges or slender bends that denote movement and fluid lines. Furthermore, the renowned sculptor’s works are never static masses, owing to his creative manipulation of the diverse quality of light entering and retaining at various angles. His oeuvres in glass have evolved through the years. As a starting artist in the mid-‘70s carving glass, Orlina’s forms were static and geometric that refracted and reflected prismatically. Soon, he moved on to more fluid shapes of abstract arcs and curves in the '80s. His experiment with light extends to trying out different colors: from his signature liquid green, he has adopted other colors such as beaming yellow, refulgent brown, and scintillating blue – as seen in this 2017 piece. One can view an Orlina piece from any point of view and interpret them beyond the artist's intended form. (P.I.R.)
