| Synopsis : | Elaine Navas' skillful use of colour and texture gives a powerful and sensual life to still objects. Through her signature thick impasto layers of paint, her work acquires a nervous energy, leading viewers to consider painting beyond the subject matter but also its physical aspect, or 'materiality'. The richly textured oil paint, layered and crammed on top of one another, almost butter-like, records the history of painting, of how it came to be. These paintings suggest an indefinable, hidden life within the object, and by extension intimate on the human relationship to objects around us: the way we invest meaning to objects and the way objects affect our psychological and emotional state. This is Filipino painter Elaine Navas's first solo exhibition in Kuala Lumpur. Elaine Roberto-Navas is a Fine Arts graduate of the University of Philippines and also a Psychology major from the Ateneo de Manila University. Navas won the Juror's Choice Awards at the Art Association of the Philippines in 1994. She exhibits frequently in Manila and Singapore. |
