[Deleted]

Hey Arkiv.
Love your work. Marvin the Martian was a favourite of mine as a kid - still is! Some of my favourite art is stuff that references my other favourite things. I have one of your Marvin the Martian prints which checked that box perfectly
Looking forward to seeing your new works for the exhibition and the progression of your style. I'd love one of your originals, but they're a tad pricey for me Are there going to be new prints for us poorer souls? Hope so!!
Good luck with the exhibition either way -

Hellooo

I'd like to share my last exhibition in manila entitled "Relics". Hope you like it!


"RELICS"


"This exhibition marks the artist exploring the felt abstraction of
memory, trying to capture the spirit of the Phillipines as he remembers
it, rather than representing it figuratively. These works communicate
the retained fragments of times past, that are now returning - as
relics – to the present. Memory is inaccurate and prejudiced, but they
bestow depth to experiences and make them unique. These paintings
do not directly show us coastal lines, palm trees and the turquoise sea
of the tropics, but the experience of these phenomena as they are
preserved in the artist’s memory. His unique, curvaceous lines and
luscious colours dance elegantly on these canvases as if to a graceful
rythm. A rhythm we cannot hear, but feel. Memory is a wild terrain,
where one could so easily lose their way. This exhibition marks
Vilmansa’s way of taming the wilderness, to make sense of his
memories, in order to share that experience with others."

Mitha Budhyarto
Jakarta, 29 November 2011





"BECAUSE OF THE TIMES"

While the colours used in these paintings symbolize the flag of Phillipines, the horizontal
curves that flow across the canvas represent what the artist feels is the pulsation of
Manila itself. The powerful thrust from the bottom left corner suggest a movement leftwards,
where all the lines all seem to meet and create a sense of balance to the
composition.

"BRIGHTENED HEART"

Boracay Beach left a distinct impression on the artist. The cool light turquoise
background in this painting beckons the viewer to imagine the freshness of the tropical
seaside air in December. The way the space within the painting is arranged invite our eyes
to begin looking from the top, following the red and pink curves as they playfully flow
down to the right of the canvas.

"FOUND THAT SOUL"

This painting captures the essence of a very specific time of the day, as the sun sets in
the very late afternoon. It depicts how the golden rays of the sun turn into a rich, deep
amber, marking the final moments of the day.

80 x 90 cm

"PARADISE"

Illustrating a minor detail that one would so readily overlook - the purple flower decoration
in a drink that was served in a hotel – Paradise exemplifies Vilmansa’s interest in exploring
the small details of everyday life.

"BLACK MOON"

It’s always fascinating to discover how inspiration metamorphoses into an artwork. In this
case it is the memory of returning to the shore at night, after a boat trip. The darkness
of the sea at dusk as it catches the beam of red light from the lamp in the boat. The
perspective gained from Vilmansa lying on his back that gave him the sight of the corner
of the boat. Fragments retained in memory, metamorphosing into Black Moon.

"DREAMED OF"

It is impossible to look at Vilmansa’s paintings and not begin to imagine what each colour
and line may mean. Here, there is a languid tranquillity to the various shade of turquoise
used, and the feather-like curves seem to sway gently as if they were leaves brushed by a
mild breeze. The title further points to an ethereal quality that the work aims to convey.

"UNDER THE MOON LIGHT"

In the works exhibited here, the experience of being in Boracay beach is caught in
snippets. Under the Moon Light tells us of the artist’s memory of catching sight of a bird
flying at night while sitting on the coast. Here, only parts of its wings are rendered visible
to the viewer.

"SOMEWHERE ELSE"

This painting stands out in the current collection because of its apparent restless energy.
Floods of blazing orange curves that dominate the canvas pivot around the yellow circular
shape. The subdued, pinkish white background creates a soothing contrast to the
gleaming tonality of the composition.

"SPIRALLING"

At once delicate and frisky, the different shades of pink seem to insinuate a distinct
femininity. The effect that grey has is that it cools the composition, adding a reflective
mood to the work.

"AN EYE FOR AN EYE"

As Vilmansa observes, Boracay beach puts on a different face at night. Through the use
of colours, he depicts the different sensations felt by being there as dusk falls, to those
felt during the day. Gone are the yellows and turquoise that characterise daytime, as they
are replaced by smoky greys, reds and the unexpected streaks of purple and blue that
symbolise Boracay evenings.
