Silverlens is pleased to announce The Edge Where The Shadow Softens, an exhibition by Ayka Go and Paolo Icasas, opening at Silverlens Manila on 13 July 2023.
In a duo exhibition of new works, Ayka Go and Paolo Icasas explore contemporary approaches to the portrayal of impermanence and the impulse to memorialize it. This is the first time both artists are presenting together for a show. A consciousness of time is a universal motive in art, but here it is acted upon in different ways: for Icasas, in spontaneity and improvisation, and for Go, in seriality and order. Icasas' canvases reflect work where the movement matters most in the act of mark-making through the use of unexpected tools. On the other hand, Go's compositional studies rely on extracting the final form through the rhythm of structured repetition. Both express works in their practice that journey from naturalistic beginnings towards the path to abstraction. Together, the collection introduces counterterms with each other, pushing the artists against their own default settings until what remains are the tendencies that are irrevocably theirs and non-negotiable.
