Contemporary artist Joseph Tecson seizes the world of fine art, grasping delicate moments of respite with his bold compositions of energized blooms. From 21 November to 4 December on the white-washed walls of Galleria Nicolas Greenbelt, Tecson's 16th solo exhibition Quatervois will be on display.
At the height of the global pandemic, the artist found solace in the midst of verdant treasures, found in his father's budding flower farm. Quatervois highlights Tecson's keen resonance with flora that stemmed from a significant breakthrough in his personal life.
"I want to represent what my dad did on the farm," Tecson states. In an attempt to find a silent retreat, as well as to honor his father, the artist unearthed inner tranquility in the form of striking blossoms. When it comes to creative expression, we see Tecson's innate boldness untethered from the 'traditional' way of painting flowers.
