Guided by a bibliophile’s intuition, Compendium by Angono-based artist Lyndon Maglalang is an exhibition of surreal impulses and off-kilter matter. Maglalang presents us with ghostly yet quietly affirming happenings, glistening with a mystic awareness of geometry and symbolism.
These paintings, brought to life by Maglalang’s instinctual and vivid brush strokes, revolve around transformations. That’s the case literally with a series of paintings employing hardbound book covers as the canvas, altering one form into another. But there are glimpses of this too on a more foundational level: scenes, colors, and figures are entombed within a backdrop of unpredictable change. These changes, Maglalang’s paintings suggest, inspire fear and terror, but it is also through those states of dread that the presence of one’s inner self lies.
