Despite \nthe parallels drawn between Dans and the noted watercolorists, she is quick to point \nout that her pictures break all the rules of watercolor painting, she works into the \npainting quite heavily, at times with several layers of almost opaque paint hence the \nrich black backgrounds for which she is noted. \nDans demonstrates an unassailable fidelity to nature in the realist tradition. Her close \nstudy of banal objects would give the viewer access to universal truths.\nThe high degree of finish and technical virtuosity which mark the work of Araceli \nDans is matched by her mastery over white. Perhaps, her most iconic works are her \nmasterful depictions of calados, intricate white patterned embroidery on pineapple \nfiber, often associated with 19th century Filipina sophisticates.\nThe delicate, white lace in the painting is the result of painstaking effort and skill. \nProof of the intense interaction between the hand, eye and the mind can be seen in \nthe exquisite draftsmanship displayed in a Dans painting. The high degree of detail in \nthe work is a testament to the uncompromising eye whose intense scrutiny of objects \nallows for nothing to be out of place. It would be so easy for paintings to lapse into \nbanality in the hands of a lesser painter, thus it’s a tribute to Dans’ unerring eye that \nthis never occurs in her work.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"<p><strong>Araceli Dans (b.1929)</strong><br />a.)<em> Ang Kalachuchi</em><br />signed and dated 1987 (lower right)<br />watercolor on paper<br />15 1/2&rdquo; x 11 1/2&rdquo; (39 cm x 29 cm)<br /><br />b.) <em>Dilaw na Hardin</em><br />signed and dated 1987 (lower right)<br />watercolor on paper<br />17 1/2&rdquo; x 14 1/2&rdquo; (44 cm x 37 cm)<br /><br />c.) <em>Dala ng Alon III</em> <br />signed and dated 1987 (lower left)<br />watercolor on paper<br />15&rdquo; x 20 1/2&rdquo; (38 cm x 52 cm)</p>","alias":null,"hp":0,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":0,"userBid":5926,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"UNSOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":0,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":30957,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/40/65/lot/87.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":86,"next":88,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
