Art Lozano’s ‘Nostos’ at Galerie Joaquin Podium
For “Nostos,” the idea of coming back home from an eventful journey emerged from Arthur “Art” Lozano’s personal perception of objects that are products of our “transportation subculture.” This subculture is one that has encouraged signs of human involvement and attachment towards certain vehicles to the point of having a rich personal history behind it.
Art Lozano embraces nostalgia and uses it as a tool to create a connection between the viewer and subject matter. He attempts to urge his viewers to recapture increasingly fragile memories that are becoming more distant and difficult as the distance from them grows. The elements in his paintings are woven into something substantial; there is an attempt to rekindle an underlying poetry to life as it was then to the unseen thread that binds us all.
“Nostos” will be on view until Feb. 15, at Galerie Joaquin Podium, 3rd level of The Podium, ADB Ave., Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City. For inquiries, call Galerie Joaquin at 634-7954 or 723-9418 or email podium.galeriejoaquin@gmail.com.
