ILOILO CITY, Nov 13 (PNA) -- Art enthusiasts in Iloilo are in for a treat as Ilonggo artist Allain Hablo exhibits his works at Casa Real de Iloilo here until Nov. 18, 2015.
Dubbed “Scientific Prayers,” a total of 11 oil paintings on canvas of varied sizes are all painted with seemingly connected dots and monotonous colors.
Looking at the artworks can put one in a trance – a meditative phase as each artwork seems connected to one another.
“I was fascinated by the meditative nature of repetitive sound, such as in prayers,” Hablo, a pride of Estancia in Iloilo said.
“Science has already made that certain transcendental effect as a proven fact,” he added.
“I felt I could translate the same visual effect into visual art,” he said.
Hablo is a widely exhibited Ilonggo artist. Scientific Prayers is his fifth solo exhibition.
He has previously held exhibits at Avellana Art Gallery, Metropolitan Museum, and Red Mill Art Gallery in Vermont, among others.
The series of art exhibits being held at Casa Real de Iloilo are prelude to the Visayas Visual Artists Exhibition and Conference in November 2016.
