ABOUT THE WORK

Every artist cum traveler such as Romulo Galicano knows a Grand Tour of Europe is intoxication. The dull silver light, the heady air, the iridescence of the palaces and churches afloat between sky and water, create a welcome dizziness of the senses, a lightness of spirit that were it not so delicate and ethereal, would be unreal. The Grand Tour is an established ritual of passage among visual artists. Capstone to the education of young artistic bloods, the grand tour also provides additional opportunity to broaden horizons, to learn languages, to hone manners and even on occasion to snoop into foreign affairs of state.
