A splash of ink, a calligraphers stroke of the brush, focused, precise. Shodo is art with harmony and balance, with delicate and sometimes strong lines but must end once started as it envelops figures of beautiful women, fabric and flowers. This is Aubrey Fajardo’s 5th solo show, “Impermanence”.
Fajardo explores and incorporates new elements into his latest works to convey movement. While still having his constant elements of figures obscured by flowers and draperies.
He believes that that constant is the artist’s soul constantly changing, echoing the impermanence of all things, for everything changes, nothing remains without change but the soul remains.
