Lot description

H.R. Ocampo Cantata H.R. Ocampo developed his own brand of abstraction which evolved from reducing objective images into shapes and shadows in an endless array of biomorphic shapes. In Cantata, Ocampo references music, and interprets it into a movement of his abstracted shapes by varying the texture, hue and size. Music in the 19th century was understood as the most abstract of all the art forms since it was borne out of pure imagination, and not from the objective world. In Cantata, the artist presents a multisensory experience, a synesthesia, an orchestra of color that engulfs the viewer in its presence. 1971 127 x 86.4 cm (50 x 34 in) Oil on canvas
