As children, we have constantly used our imagination as an escape from reality, but what about going back to that time and living that imagination?
Artist Gerrico Blanco explored this theme through INSCAPES, his second solo exhibition, wherein he presented a collection of 15 works that showcase the innocence and creativity of children bound only by their imagination.
According to Blanco, the meaning behind the title Inscape was inspired by a term coined by the Victorian poet and priest Gerard Manley Hopkins, pertaining to the unique imprint of God in each and all of creation.
Through his paintings, Blanco inspires viewers to be inspired by the hope of children and reconnect with our own inner child. Inscapes allow us to withdraw from the workday world to remember who we truly are.
Blanco’s new works were exhibited at Gallery BIG, 2 nd Floor LRI Plaza, 210 N. Garcia St., Makati City from 5-15 March, 2016.
