Linear by Marc Aran Reyes
Art collectors and followers of award-winning contemporary artist Marc Aran Reyes witnessed another successful exhibition by the FEU-trained artist. Linear, which focused on man’s conviction towards progress, opened at Art Underground in Mandaluyong City as the artist’s third solo show.
Marc’s 11 paintings and an installation art, which were spread over three galleries of Art Underground, represented his understanding of the relationship of humans and technology. His paintings remained black and white and as expected, they were sold out.
The atmosphere was very festive at the opening of the exhibit with guests hopping from one gallery to another to witness Marc’s works that almost seemed in motion. They also enjoyed Filipino street food from carts that served barbecued pork and grilled innards, fish balls and siomai.
Marc’s successful exhibitions that are constant crowd drawers have raised his profile. He is widely considered as one of the brightest and fast-rising contemporary artists in the Philippines. He also gained attention when he showcased a triptych series in his Dreams Within the Sand of Time in Art Fair Philippines last year.
Marc won the 2016 Philippine Art Awards and is a two-time finalist at the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence Awards (MADE). He also represented Art Underground at Art Fair Tokyo both in 2017 and this year.
