A celebration of excellence at Galerie Joaquin Rockwell
Galerie Joaquin presents “Masters and Legends,” a celebration of excellence in art through an exhibition of masterly works. The carefully selected works provide a gateway to an audience facing the effects of the current unprecedented pandemic, who are enthusiastically yearning for news of hope and inspiration in these distressing times. The exhibition’s roster of artists focuses on grouping some of the top masters of the land who, through their consistent and creative vision, are proving to be stellar names in the art firmament.
The exhibition highlights the works of modern masters evaluating humanity’s strength and resilience in thought-provoking visuals and renderings. Each of the artistic geniuses included in “Masters and Legends” has had a monumental impact on the evolution of Philippine art and aesthetics, inspiring generations of artists who now follow in their footsteps.
The pieces exhibited examine the views and visions of each artist and the relationship between artistic creativity and their associated life and career vantage points and cycles. The selected works are representative of the stature of the old masters, and the rising influence of the younger ones. The exhibit is a testimony that demonstrates how art, from various perspectives, can inspire and enact change, creating unbridled energy and hope. The notable goal of this exhibit involves a recollection of the role of these artists allowing the audience to both discover and rediscover stimulating exchanges of ideas through art. It is hoped that this project becomes an enterprise, which will inspire and create positive energies, empathy, and new understandings.
