One of the country’s top painting artists Roy Espinosa welcomed art collectors and enthusiasts during the opening of his solo exhibit Emergence last June 1 at The Artologist in Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
In this exhibit, Espinosa has again proven his ingenuity in handling the acrylic medium. Dashes of pigments applied in quick, successive strokes bespeak a masterly assurance in depicting his abstracted compositions.
Described as a versatile visual artist and arts and culture advocate, Espinosa’s deep commitment to promoting the Filipino talent and skills both in the local and international art scene exemplified his philanthropic disposition as can be seen in his establishment of FILARTS (Filipinas Institute for the Advancement of Arts and Culture).
Also, a lauded publisher of art books and president of FILARTS, Espinosa, along with fellow artist Frank Caña, was awarded a certificate of appreciation during a courtesy call at the Philippine Embassy in Malaysia.
Espinosa led a host of Filipino visual artists who are now back on the international art scene via New Horizon, an international art exhibition organized by Arth Art International and being held at the KL City Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The exhibit features the artworks of more than 30 visual artists from Vietnam, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The opening last May 20 was attended by esteemed guests from the international community, including ambassadors from Belgium, Argentina, Germany, Cuba, and the Philippines. His Excellency Charles C. Jose gave an inspirational speech at the event also featuring Filipino artist Pancho Piano.
The exhibit in Malaysia will run until June 5. Espinosa’s Emergence art exhibit at The Astrologist will run until June 14.
