Juno Galang

Art Brokerage: Juno Galang Filipino Artist: b. 1942. Juno Galang was born in Manila, Philippines in December of 1942 and studied Fine Arts at the University of Santo Tomas. He was naturally inclined toward drawing from an early age and was largely self taught. He spent most of his young teenage years hanging around Ermita, Malate (the Greenwich Village of Manila) galleries where he learned painting techniques from the old masters. Although Juno paints in various mediums, he is best recognized for the vibrant photo realism in his watercolors depicting Hawaii's places and people. Unlike oil paints, where the medium may be mixed and retouched, watercolor paint can only be applied once to the paper. This technique requires endless hours of exacting brush strokes because a single mistake will be glowingly apparent. It is a credit to Juno's incredible talent and dedication that his works achieve such a wealth of fine detail and translucency. Evolution of style is also essential to the artist, and it's not difficult for the keen eye to find a heightened perception of color and light in his most recent works. Juno also likes to try out new and innovative techniques for artistic breakthroughs, whether enhancing or highlighting his images or creating new color combinations. He also combines exquisite traditional painting skill with contemporary abstraction. Listings wanted.
