During the opening of Rock Drilon’s Untitled , Casa Real Iloilo

Title makes art easier to understand. Somehow when you see a painting you seek an explanation on its title. For an average audience, this is almost a reflex. Rock Drilon’s Untitled breaks this by not defining his art and letting the viewer experience it on their own – empty of assumptions and devoid of preconception.

The show includes eight untitled artworks that provokes pondering. Some lines meet and some does not which seemed like a path for the audience eyes. Some shades float on space of darkness and white creating suspense, anticipation and strain. Some colors brightly drip joining a pool of their own in disturbed harmony. Circles and squares become one like two differences that unite. Loops curve fluidly and meet where there is no end, much like the interpretion on the audience’s mind.
