Master Francisco Paco Gorospe  Black Birds, Oil on Canvas, 90 cm x 120 cm, undated, Signed


For over 80 years now, Mabini Street, the two-kilometer street located in Ermita has been the nexus of touristy and artistic activities. In its heyday, it teemed with art galleries and shops, making it Manila’s most colorful alley.

More about the artwork "Gorospe painted climate change not in the expected change of colors of the physical, natural environment, but its impact on objects with or without outside referents. The shapes of the "cool climate" are pictorially presented likewise: clear and blurred edges with the shapes centrally positioned."

"The shapes allow for vertical and horizontal lines to create quadric directional motion, despite the climate's impact."
