Alfredo Roces: Digital Paintings

| book description |

Alfredo Roces: Digital Paintings features the digital art creation of a polymathic Filipino artist. Though formally trained in the traditional school of fine arts—where in the mid-fifties, the artist took up drawing classes with German Expressionist and Dadaist, George Grosz at the Art Students League of New York—Roces welcomed with gusto the offer of new technologies for his artmaking.  The artist’s encounter with “Photoshop” in 2004 would eventually set the stage for his ongoing adventures with digital artmaking—when in 2011, nearing eighty years of age, he discovered the Big Apple and found his Eden with “Brushes” (and later on, “Procreate”) in iPad. The book presents a selection of more than a hundred of Roces’s iPad drawings in various genres—portrait, still life, human figure, and abstract—and shows to full effect the artist’s zest for life. The book is prologued with an interview with the editor, David Jonathan Bayot, in which Roces tells of a life so far and speaks of his dreams for the tomorrows ahead. A  prefatory interview is complemented by the artist’s own account of his “adventures with digital art.” In the words of Tina Colayco, President of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila: ""There is much to be admired with Alfredo Roces who at 90 remains an authentic and authoritative persona in Philippine art and culture. The book captures the essence of Roces as a Filipino artist, the zeitgeist of so many decades, and a continuing passion to create art. It brings to the fore the journey of the gentleman-artist described in the epigraph to the book as ‘sitting in the Row of a morning’.”
