Episode 56: Senior Architect and Abstract Painter, Froilan Vicente, Discusses Vulnerability and The Polarity of Two Artistic Worlds
Froilan Vicente, painter, and architect grew up in the rural Philippines and emigrated to Canada. After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture, he relocated to New York City. Froilan's art is inspired by the dried remains of raindrops on subway windows, the surfaces around him - walls, floors, ceilings, furniture. Each painting is a record of its own process - a layered document of spontaneity, loss, chance association that ultimately deals with displacement, and the (in)stability of home.
