“Passengers” is the latest art exhibit at Cevio Art Haus. It is a collaboration of the recent works of artists Gino Tioseco and Raymond Kawataki Go. The exhibit will showcase artworks which will tell us about their personal experiences, the people they met along the way and their interactions with them. The exhibit hopes to convey to the viewer the adage that we are all passengers in a ride called life.
As a full time visual artist, Gino Tioseco was influenced by other underrated painters such as Amedeo Modigliani, Milton Resnick, Leon Golub and Lester Johnson, He often used himself as the model for his nascent portraits saying that it was the most familiar subject to paint as he can project the fluctuations of himself as he experienced it.
His paintings often have no title and his style is characterized by the use of garish colors, agitated brushwork and convulsive compositional rhythms. “My paintings have no narratives, no explanations and no endings,” Tioseco explains. “I want my audience to invest their own meaning into my works and draw their own conclusions.”
