RM de Leon and Tosha Albor at Artinformal

RM de Leon and Tosha Albor hold simultaneous solo shows, which open on July 4 at Artinformal, 277 Connecticut St., Greenhills East, Mandaluyong City. The shows run until July 22.

In “From a Distance Beyond 18 Inches,” De Leon transforms classic imageries anew, eliminating the mystifying respect for the “old” and the hype for the new.

In “Dig,” Albor continues to focus on the fundamentals of drawing and the ways in which it reveals, through the physical act of mark-making and gestural painting, a site of excavation and construction.

The images are chosen from the digital stock of the artist’s street photography portfolio, taken in different locations such as New York, Chicago, Makati and Hong Kong.

The need for editions is forgone, thus producing one original work.
