Herzon, Rhea dela Rosa’s multidimensional art
Sibling-artists Herzon and Rhea dela Rosa are holding their sixth “Verve” joint exhibit, “Six Dimensions,” at The Masters art gallery till Feb. 22 .
The Dela Rosa siblings combine impressionism, realism and surrealism; their genre works such as florals magnify the realism of organic life as to make them look surreal or otherworldly. Their use of bold colors enhance the preternaturalism of the figurative works.
