Seconding his exhibit at the Galleria Duemila in 2019 entitled, ‘Vertical and Horizontal Dreams’, Joe Bautista pays homage once again to his architectural musings in ‘Re-Construction’. This time, he toys with the idea of space and form. Flat, acrylic paintings pervaded ‘Vertical and Horizontal Dreams’ but this time, Joe Bau added depth and played with heights through the use of conventional construction objects.
His process starts out with a recognition of form, a visible shape or configuration. In architectural terms, this may refer to construction. In a way, Joe Bau constructs and re-constructs paintings. In adding depth, space is bound to occur. In this case, space may be defined as a three-dimensional extent in which objects manifest and have relative position and direction.
Exhibition notes by Johanna Labitoria
For him, his compositions are re-constructions. Re-mades. His concept ideates the perspective of transformation. These pieces take on a whole new remembrance of form.
