ABOUT THE WORK

Albor’s paintings continue to evolve with new ideas and corresponding shifts in both his sensibility and use of medium. Bot h the aesthetics of intuition and memory resonate in the works of Filipino painter Augusto Albor. The artist once said that his works have tended toward the values of spontaneity and intuitiveness. Hence, the natural qualities of his various media and the gestu ral layers of his strokes strike a harmonious chord. In non-objective painting, the artist presents a cohesive statement, as he rallies behind the plastic medium’s versatility. The artist’s masterful handling dictates the path of spontaneity that his creativity undertakes. For Albor, the medium assumes a subservient role to demonstrate his technical strength while successfully unveiling his intuitive self.
