Gus Albor

Gus Albor (born August 1948) is a painter and sculptor known for his minimalist abstraction works and has been a stalwart of the Philippine art scene since the 1970s. A graduate of the University of the East School of Music and Fine Arts and a recipient of a British Council study grant to the West Surrey College of Fine Art, his works have been shown in exhibitions in Germany, Italy, Japan, France, and the United States to name a few. Albor’s distinct partiality for minimal colour registers, with extreme subtlety, soft transitions, and muted harmonies, creates a sensual experience. While many abstract artists may contend that they are creating artworks as objects, Albor regards his paintings as emanations of his conviction and concepts, indeed an exposition of his existence.
