Verses of Color by Camille Ver

Published On 9/24/2015 By Anonymous

You are cordially invited to Camille Ver’s solo exhibit at the prestigious Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Witness as one of the Philippines’ fastest-rising abstractionists infuse the familiar forms of city and landscape with colorful and intense emotion.

Camille Ver [b. 1980] is one of the foremost contemporary abstractionists in the Philippines. In recent years, Ver’s oeuvre has been primarily concerned with architectural abstraction and the elegant reinterpretation of foliage and trees. Aggressively transforming the lines and forms of the cityscapes, Ver rejects the common usage of minimalism in abstraction; preferring large swaths of brushstrokes and color experimentation in her practice.

Ver graduated from the University of the Philippines’ College of Fine Arts in 2003, taking up a degree in Painting. She later took a specialized course in Interior Design at the Philippine Institute of Interior Design, which undoubtedly laid the foundation of her future interest in abstracting the built environment of structures and cityscapes. Her influences include Russian abstract pioneer Vasilly Kandinsky, as well as members of the New York school of abstract expressionism, such as Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning. Her first influences, however, came from the 19thcentury European expressionist – Van Gogh and Manet among them- who instilled in her a sense of color and dynamism at a very young age.
