Rustan’s recently paid tribute to National Artist Arturo Luz with an exhibit titled “Improvisations by Arturo Luz” at Rustan’s Makati, which opened on Sept. 19. The exhibit, part of the “Rustan’s for the Arts” initiative, showcased several of the neo-realist master’s iconic works.
At the launch event, Luz’s granddaughter, artist Paulina Luz-Sotto, delivered remarks about her grandfather’s collection, celebrating his contribution to modern Filipino art.
The exhibit featured Luz’s minimalist and geometric works, pivotal in shaping the country’s art scene.
Honored as National Artist for Visual Arts in 1997, Arturo Luz’s career spanned over six decades. He was instrumental in the development of neo-realism in the Philippines and founded The Luz Gallery, which showcased works by prominent local modernist artists.
“Rustan’s for the Arts,” dedicated to promoting local artistic and cultural endeavors, continues to support and highlight Filipino art through initiatives like this exhibit.
