MANILA, Philippines - Olan Ventura goes through the other side of the spectrum in “Negative Light,” which opens on Nov. 26, 6 p.m., at West Gallery, Mary Santos Arcade, 48 West. Ave., Quezon City.
The paintings come across as panels filled with bluish and grayish figures, but when seen through an infrared camera the figures have fleshy tones. Ventura’s inverse aesthetics is his way of questioning traditional coloration in art, as well as meditating on how technology has affected the way we see figures and objects.
The show is on view until Dec. 21.
