The NCCA Gallery is proud to present Filipino visual artist Romeo Gutierrez. Featuring a collection spanning five decades, Gutierrez’s Beyond Gold rounds out the artist’s principles and practice of “recording scenarios of a beginning, a creation, a naked truth, and motion” as noted by Rene R. Salem in Philippine Panorama in 1976.
The overall calmness and temperance conveyed from the gathering of around 40 abstract and figurative works at the NCCA Gallery is a register of materials: Aside from using canvases as a ground for oil and acrylic, Gutierrez also used other kinds of surfaces, or he diligently recreated simulations of textures and atmospheres as graphic documentations of his observations and aspirations in life.
