Splice, his wall-bound pieces and sculptures have matured Penaso as an artist, as he maximizes the limits of steel by sheer creativity often eschewing the element of this cold alloy to limitless possibilities.

Crafted from the ores of the earth, stainless steel is better appreciated as public art as it can be welded, machined, bent and finished with many different surface effects to boot.

Penaso dwells into steel like second nature because of its hands-on malleability and durability. A mere look at it revs up the imagination in him to wonders even amazing himself to heavens.

Splice runs from October 23 – 31 at Art Lounge Manila in The Podium in Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong. The Artist’s reception will be held on October 24, Monday at 6:00PM.
