Meet the Artist at the Opening Reception on Wednesday 14th October 2009 at 6:30p.m.

The Philippine abstract artist, Carlo Magno, is staging his 1st solo painting exhibition at the Karin Weber Gallery in Hong Kong from 14th October to 4th November 2009.

Carlo was a former realist artist who turned to abstract art for the love of freedom of expression.  What we are seeing are works by a mature artist who is not afraid to experiment with novel ideas and medium. Working with a palette knife and sand to create shapes and textures, a composition emerges which explores the total canvas area. Carlo Magno indulges in all shades of blue. These hues go from deep sea blue with light dappling   through to a light lagoon blue melting into turquoise.

Carlo Magno is the winner of many national and international awards. His works are featured in books such as ‘Philippine Art Now’ and ‘Twentieth Century Filipino Artists’.
