ABOUT THE WORK

Throughout his artistic career, Mauro Malang Santos explored various media, colors, and approaches in his festive depictions of Philippine culture and society and somber abstract pieces. One of the most renowned second-generation modernists in the post-war period, he is known for his charming and engaging abstractions, prints, comic strips, and illustrations. “When I look around me, I see patterns. I just enjoy what I do, and perhaps it shows in my work,” he said. Viewers get to see his playful compositions that became more and more abstract as he evolved in style and technique. In this work, one sees the spectacular orchestration of color in his unique geometric depiction of the table, truly a visual feast from an artist noted for his imaginative use of color.
