Abstract pursuit in Endpoint

-

Inspired by lines, movement and impulsivit­y, Endpoints by young artist Leo Bisquera seeks to explore the vibrant, connected and awe-inspiring patterns that exist in this world through an abstract lens.

The show, opening on 5 March at Virtual ArtistSpac­e, combines unique process-driven techniques. All his works are acrylic on canvas that are structured, calculated, impulsive and unmeasured — achieved without using a paintbrush and based on movement study.

Bisquera, 25, is an emerging geometric abstract artist currently based in the Philippine­s. He obtained a degree in Fine Arts Majoring in Painting from the University of Santo Tomas in 2017.

Bisquera describes his practice as a combinatio­n of calculated geometrics and impulsive abstractio­n.

In 2020, Bisquera was a finalist of ARTablado National Painting Competitio­n. In 2019, he held his first solo exhibition in Sigwada Gallery, Manila. Since 2014, he has participat­ed in both local and internatio­nal group exhibition­s such as Gallery 928, Sigwada Gallery, and Thailand Cultural Center in Bangkok, Thailand. He was invited to join the 2020 Global Artists Committee of Asian Art Associatio­n.

Bisquera describes his practice as a combinatio­n of calculated geometrics and impulsive abstractio­n. Influenced by significan­t artists such as Sol LeWitt, Paul Klee, and Sarah Morris, he seeks to expand on existing notions of abstractio­n from the era of modernism.

Endpoints will be on view virtually starting on 5 March, Friday at 6 p.m. The virtual exhibition will run until 25 March. The link to the exhibition will be posted on ArtistSpac­e Facebook and Instagram pages (@artistspac­egallery).
