Art Beyond Appearances @ Vargas Museum

ART BEYOND APPEARANCES - Caring for Amorsolo's Legacy

An exhibit of scientific studies on the works of Fernando Amorsolo based on results from an ongoing project titled: Art Beyond Apperances - Physics Looks into Art.

A project of the UP Vargas Museum, UP National Institute of Physics, and the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute.

4 February, Wednesday, 6 pm
Kawilihan Gallery
Vargas Museum

The exhibition Art Beyond Appearances: Caring for Amorsolo’s Legacy opens on 4 February, Wednesday at 6 pm, to culminate the two-year long collaboration between three units of the University of the Philippines Diliman – the Jorge B. Vargas Museum , the National Institute of Physics, and the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. It aims to promote an interdisciplinary approach to understand and care for our country’s tangible cultural assets through the expertise of individuals from the arts and sciences.

Focusing on the works of Fernando Amorsolo, the first National Artist, and his contemporaries from the Vargas Museum collection, the exhibit presents the integration of physics and electronics engineering to develop non-invasive tools and techniques in analyzing oil on canvas paintings. It will feature visual and scientific analysis of artworks with interactive components to explain optical measurements and digital archiving of the painters’ signature techniques such as color palette and surface texture. The project also looks into preventive conservation concepts and will be demonstrated with the installation of wireless temperature and relative humidity sensors throughout the gallery.
