Along with Fernando Zóbel, he is considered a pioneer of neo-realism in\nPhilippine art for their adoption of a modernist approach to their artistry. According\nto the National Commission for the Culture and Arts, he has produced works that\nelevated Filipino aesthetic vision to new heights of sophisticated simplicity.
\nLuz’s human figures have no proportions and are monochromatic to highlight\ntheir linear depth. However, this particular piece is an exception - the figures of the\nwomen are more elaborated and expounded. He stated in 1973: “My work is linear\nor geometric, and that’s it, essentially. I cannot imagine myself going conceptual or\n\nsurrealistic tomorrow.” He described his works as semi-representational and semi-\nabstract. The early works of Luz were figurative but progressed towards abstraction\n\nlater in his career as his style and artistry became more defined.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
