ABOUT THE WORK

Featured here is the brush of Arturo Luz making the human figure surprisingly more fleshed out. Traditionally, a human figure by Arturo Luz painting has no volume, no sense of weight, no perspective but knowing the art and mastery of Arturo Luz, he always balanced the demands of two visual cultures, East and West, yet neither dominates his art for he sees in it an opportunity to escape into the freedom of an individual expression which transcends the constraints of both cultural influences and Luz’s duality is the content of his work, and it is what creates tension, something many others have noted, hence this masterpiece of Nude with Red Door is a testimony on how Luz was able to create oeuvres that elevated Filipino aesthetic vision to new levels of sophistication with simplicity.
