ABOUT THE WORK

The late Romeo Tabuena has been known for his brilliant cubist works. Nothing short of iconic, Tabuena’s different forays into cubism have brought us an astonishing body of work — his oeuvre of international renown. This work is among the more festively colored later pieces, which feature Tabuena’s signature brand of planar cubism — the pinks and blues evocative of nostalgia. The composition features a couple as they take a stroll on a sunny afternoon. The figures drawn together romantically, happily in love.
