Modeka Art is proud to present “UNLIMITED” a solo exhibition by Lilianna Manahan.
One day the world stopped turning and came to a halt. All at once, our worlds became smaller, but the borders of our minds expanded beyond limits.
With nothing but paper, paint, wax, metal leaf and a huge desk, Lilianna Manahan challenged herself to see the wonder in the uncertain and mundane. Working with only the materials she had on hand, she pushed her creativity to limits she had never reached.
Going back to basics, she started drawing to tell stories rather than dictate plans; after all, we had all the time in the world to listen. Armed with basic drawing tools – pencils and paper and an infinite number of combinations of circles, lines, and squares, she observed tones, light, shadows and luster, and brought them together to tell her story. She then applied these new iterations of shape, light, shadow to different forms of metal and the result were new creations she never would have discovered without limits.
Throughout all this, the beauty and hope of freedom found in limitations became the shining beacon in a world that could only see shadows.
