Filipino artist Arnold Lalongisip is set to showcase The Madrid Collection, a limited series of twelve monochromatic works inspired by his journey to Madrid, Spain.
On view from Dec. 10 to 23 at Art Underground on Mabini Street, San Juan, the exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into Lalongisip’s artistic interpretation of the city’s architecture, culture, and landscapes.
Lalongisip’s pieces depict Madrid’s essence in striking black-and-white compositions, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow. Highlights of the collection include detailed renderings of iconic landmarks such as Plaza Mayor and the spires of Madrid’s cathedrals, contrasted with the organic forms of Retiro Park’s gardens. Each artwork reflects the artist’s meticulous attention to form and texture, capturing the city’s timeless elegance.
