THE LARGE-SCALE paintings by late abstractionist Romulo Olazo have returned to the Bulwagang Juan Luna (Main Gallery) and Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino (Third Floor Hallway) of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in a survey exhibit, almost four decades after CCP first mounted Olazo’s works.
The exhibit, titled Olazo Large-Scale, features an array of Olazo’s abstract paintings from 1974 until before his passing in 2015.
This includes his magnum opus “Diaphanous” series.
According to wife Patricia Olazo, the exhibit serves as a homecoming for her late husband’s first exhibit.
“This exhibit is a commemoration of Ola’s works and career.
We started conceptualizing this two years ago,” she said.
The exhibit reunites the mural-large-scale paintings from Olazo’s private collection along with other private collections from Paseo Gallery, Ayala Foundation, PLDT Foundation, among others.
Greeting exhibit-goers is 12 of the 13 first large-scale paintings from Olazo’s 1974 debut
