JANDDIE CASTILLO 4th Solo Exhibition
June 5 – 15, 2018
Galerie Joaquin Podium
Level 3, The Podium, ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City
Nature has always been a channel for artists throughout the ages to express inspiration and impetus of their work. The landscape genre allows artist Janddie Castillo to express his ability to document his interpretation of the real world. The works allow the artist to express his own personal metaphysical experiences, allowing the viewer to perceive more about nature than mere observed interpretation. Castillo explores emotions, ideas, and concepts vividly and vibrantly to create works that essentially capture the allure and solidity of the earth, and in the process enigmatically, its evanescence.
Janddie Castillo’s works in “Nature Sublime” may initially appear to be merely the outcome of immediate observation of the environment. In actuality they are composed of complex streaks and spots of diverse hues collectively reinforced to result in a visual artistic triumph. Castillo’s unique works examine his enthusiastic form of motion painting, in which sensations become visual emotions resulting in a new and poignant response.
“Master of Splash Art” is the title given to Janddie Castillo, a Far Eastern University Fine Arts alumni, by his peers due to his unique art style which he invented and coined. This technique melds realistic and impressionistic themes with the symphony of splashes, splatters, and swiping strokes. He has successfully mastered Splash Technique using Palette Knife and vivid color combinations to make an art style that is truly Filipino and truly Castillo’s own.
Castillo has been generating serious interest among collectors in the art scene via his three (3) highly successful one-man shows, forty (40) group exhibits, numerous art contests and awards, art fairs, and workshops. He has matured into one of the fastest rising contemporary artists of our time.
“Nature Sublime” will be on view from June 5 – 15, 2018 with the Artist Reception scheduled for Wednesday, June 13 at 6PM. The exhibit is a continuation of the 15th anniversary celebrations of Galerie Joaquin through its second branch in the new wing of The Podium Mall. The gallery is located on Level 3, The Podium, ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City.
