ABOUT THE WORK

Augusto Albor has been known for his powerfully captivating abstract works. His use of space and color exhibits a restrained, impassioned elegance. Combining the chaos of this very composition with elements of neoplasticism, Albor displays his control of the medium, precisely plotting and layering every addition to the piece to complete the cohesive dynamic of the whole. An internationally exhibited and renowned painter, Albor’s work were featured in numerous exhibitions and events in the Philippines, USA, Germany, France, and Japan, to name a few. He was given the coveted Thirteen Artists Award in 1976, and was the Philippines’ representative in numerous events such as the 2013 Singapore Biennale and the 2015 Venice Biennale.
