"Frontward," by Randalf Dilla — “Frontward,” by Randalf Dilla

Randalf Dilla opened his exhibition, “Germanophile,” last Nov. 17, at the Mezzanine of Makati Shangri-La.

Dilla was a recipient of a two-month residency grant in Bruchkobel, Germany in 2014. His paintings are drenched in a dreamy and nostalgic lyricism of that travel.

“Germanophile” is a bow to surrealism, with its various layers of confounding realities. The artist, his back to the audience, paints a pretty fräulein on a canvas in his studio; the viewer’s sight shifting from the field of flowers, and back again to the studio with its overhead lights.

The exhibit organized by Hiraya Gallery runs until Nov. 27. Call 5233331; visit www.hiraya.com.
