Filipino artist  Arnold Lalongisip  is set to showcase  The Madrid Collection, a limited series of twelve monochromatic works inspired by his journey to Madrid, Spain. 

On view from Dec. 10 to 23 at Art Underground on Mabini Street, San Juan, the exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into Lalongisip’s artistic interpretation of the city’s architecture, culture, and landscapes.

Lalongisip’s pieces depict Madrid’s essence in striking black-and-white compositions, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow. Highlights of the collection include detailed renderings of iconic landmarks such as Plaza Mayor and the spires of Madrid’s cathedrals, contrasted with the organic forms of Retiro Park’s gardens. Each artwork reflects the artist’s meticulous attention to form and texture, capturing the city’s timeless elegance.

Describing his work as a tribute to Madrid, Lalongisip explores themes of memory and inspiration through his signature style. By limiting the series to just twelve pieces, he adds a sense of exclusivity, with each artwork serving as a unique testament to cultural and artistic heritage.

The Madrid Collection  promises a refined and evocative experience, offering viewers a chance to witness Madrid’s spirit through Lalongisip’s distinct lens. The exhibit highlights the artist’s mastery of his craft and his ability to convey profound narratives through minimalist expression.
