ABOUT THE WORK

The appeal of this work by Sanso lies in the juxtaposition of ilquid and solid, mobile and stationary, each accentuating the other as Leonardo also used light and shade dichotomies. Sanso’s themes evolved from the dark, cathartic stage of war wounds to non-figurative art, back to nature with the Brittany seascapes and landscapes, along with piles of stone walls to his famous scenes of barong-barong. A Philippine invention of both beauty and harshness of reality reflected in the haphazard construction of shapes and patterns.
