ABOUT THE WORK

When working on his abstract works, Jerry Elizalde Navarro always employs dynamism and exuberance through his sound draftsmanship and sharp predisposition. Navarro’s flamboyant pieces encapsulate the allure of abstract illusionism. In this particular piece, color and form simultaneously occur and amalgamate into each other mellifluously. Navarro’s natural and uninhibited application of colored pigments concurrently directs his preferred shape or figure. The artist utilizes a vivid amalgamation of hues and gestural strokes, with elements of Oriental and Occidental elements coalescing together to form a harmonious and noteworthy work. Gesture is a significant component of this painting wherein striking brushstrokes are applied impetuously. The artist’s application of paint is characterized as salient, intersecting, and forming a synthesis of complementing hues. In essence, Navarro’s fresh take on Modernism is a reflection of his artistic freedom and accomplishment.
