This anguish bleeds\ninto his works, especially his earlier ones—his Black Period of distorted images of bouquets\nand faces. Nonetheless, two of these grotesque works won first prize in the Art Association of\nthe Philippines’ art competition for two consecutive years: in 1950 in the watercolor category for\n“Incubus” and in 1951 for “Sorcerer” in the oil category.<br /><br />\nPerhaps his vacations in Brittany, France were a turning point in Juvenal Sansó’s artistic career.\nCharmed by the coast’s beauty, he decided to make it his permanent residence in his later years and\nimmortalize its scenic beauty in his paintings, albeit twisted. Sansó’s angst-filled canvases turned\ninto landscapes of still water and rock formations. His unique sense of layering strokes of blues and\ngreens creates scenic images, transporting his viewers to a hazy and surrealistic world: calm yet\nhaunting.<br /><br />\n“The art of Sansó belongs to a fantastic world,” art critic J. P. Crespelle of France-Soir noted. “The\nflower compositions [and] the landscapes reveal a mysterious universe full of magic . . . It is this\nwonderment that gives his paintings their beauty and renders them both unique and unforgettable.”\n(Jessica Magno)","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":220000,"bp":0.2016,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":220000,"userBid":5930,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":0,"hammer_price":264352,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":43922,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/91/120/lot/351.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[220000,240000,260000,280000,300000,320000,340000,360000,380000,400000,450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":350,"next":352,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
