Scraps of Memory and Chance Happenings (Lot 678) is a continuation of 'shattered', derelict interiors depicted by Filipino artist Arturo Sanchez, whom was recently awarded the Philip Morris award in 2014 for this series of work. Taut energy vibrates through the work, capturing a transient moment within a single frame. Pausing time, Sanchez captures a white curtain tossed by a puff of air and the moment of a shattering window. The painting is a held breath - the flicker of an eyelid in an infinite reverie.
A symbol of passage, and a nexus through which the outside world enters a cloistered room, a window contains a myriad of associations and passing reflections. Sanchez illustrates this sentiment in vignettes embedded in mirrors, his artistic signature. Scraps of Memory and Chance Happenings is part of an artistic series on architecture, further developing the artist's exploration of mirrors as a medium in art. Sanchez moves away from using mirrors as embellishments to making them necessary: the mirrors in this piece are central to the drama.
With its arresting filmic qualities, Scraps of Memory and Chance Happenings is an invitation to remember and immortalize the immediacy of thought and feeling that come rushing forth in the moment of action.
