Concepcion , or more widely known as FB Concepcion, will be in a show entitled “Mixed Media: Florencio B.
Curated by Miguel Rosales, creative director at Caramel, the works in the show represent the different media the artist used to express his art, not just in the luminous oils on canvas he is known for, but also in more experimental types such as ceramic, printmaking and other works on paper, and the very layered works done during his highly sought after Roman period.
Born in Manila, Concepcion received his degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Philippines in 1953 and worked as an opera backdrop artist under Ireneo Miranda. During this time, his paintings and prints featured landscapes, seascapes, and the common folk. He rendered them flat and yet displayed a focus on the subtle gradations of hue and tone while hinting at perspective and depth.
This period marked the beginning of Concepcion’s practice where he produced works that evoke feelings of transcendence and peace. In them, heavy strokes of dark colors are reclaimed by an unapologetic use of a lighter palette forming images that seduce and soothe the viewer.Upon his return to the Philippines, Concepcion made a courageous decision to turn his back on the allure of commercial success.
“Mixed Media: Florencio B. Concepcion” is part of a series of projects outlining art movements and influential figures who contributed to the dialogue of Philippine art. It will run until August 27, 2024.
