CEBU, Philippines - There’s a profound sense of balance nestled within Jesse Rona’s works, a quality that doesn’t belay the artist’s standing as a master of his craft.
Showcasing a vibrant sampling of past and recently completed works in the 3rd Level of the Ayala Center Cebu, Rona’s Art essentially bares the true bravado in Jesse Rona’s aesthetic senses and visual ideals, illustrating and exemplifying how a union of classic representational styles with the standards of contemporary abstraction is possible.
Distinct in his utilization of space, the collection’s featured pieces easily defines Rona’s representational and expressionist inclinations, working with a vibrant palette of colors, shades and hues in the making of unique visual compositions.
Going beyond the traditional norms of thematic concepts and contrasts, Rona manages to maintain a rock solid sense of lucidity into his works, even amidst a pandemonium of lines, shapes and shades that are well on their way towards the boundaries of sanity.
Masterful in its overall execution and clearly intent in maintaining art’s role in capturing beauty in all its forms, the collected pieces featured in Rona’s Art goes beyond the more static associations many have banded with the arts, effectively amalgamating various techniques and styles that yield to a bold and profound quality that is a cut above the rest.
