| Indepth Arts News: "An Exhibition by Philippine Artist Carlo Magno" The Philippine abstract artist, Carlo Magno, will be 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 never inhibited to experiment with novel concepts and different medium. Using a palette knife, sand to create shapes and textures, and a sense of composition exploring 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 and melting into turquoise. Perhaps we are on an isolated island floating in a deep blue sea. The colors are refreshing and energizing at the same time. Carlo Magno is the winner of Artist of the Centennial Award, Philippine American Federation of South Florida; Outstanding Malatean Award, Malate Catholic School; Grand Prize "Las Pinas Church", Hispanidad Painting Contest; Leadership Award, Philippine Women's University; First Prize "Ruins Along Roxas Blvd.", On-the-spot Painting Contest; First Prize "Bayanihan", 26th YMCA Student Art Competition. His works are featured in books such as "Philippine Art Now" and "Twentieth Century Filipino Artists".
