RODOLFO SAMONTE


Born 1941.  Imbibed art in the company of HR Ocampo, Legaspi, Roces in the AAP and the Saturday Group.  Exhibited in Manila 's top galleries:  Kamalig, Galerie Bleue, Gallery One,  Manila Peninsula , The Cultural Center of the Philippines , and won awards from the AAP. As an abstractionist print maker, he brought print-making to its full potential from traditional paper silkscreen serigraphs to mixed-media layered relief series. He imbued his abstract works which he called structures, interactions, shapes, rectilinears etc. with feelings; color, craft and art into what one critic described as "geometric-planar-curvilinear-rectilinear color as shape and shape as color art pieces." His works have a select upper scale following and is found among Manila 's art cognoscenti including the Cultural Center of the Philippines. A few of his layered relief serigraphs are in the art collection of the Banco de la Republica Mantaje de Bogota.
