Dave Alcon's introspective journey in art
Manila Bulletin
|September 8, 2025
How the artist balances light and shadow
Through his solo exhibit "Reflections between Light and Shadow," held at Art Verite Gallery from July 19 to Aug. 6, artist Dave Alcon invited viewers to pause, breathe, and find meaning in the fragile, fleeting spaces of life.
The collection, composed of graphite and acrylic works rendered in minimalist elegance, reflected Dave’s personal experience of stillness, uncertainty, and growth.
"'Reflections between Light and Shadow' was inspired by my own personal experiences, moments of stillness, uncertainty, and growth," Dave explained. "I began to see how both light and shadow have meaning: light brings clarity, while shadow gives depth."
The fragility of time
Recurring motifs of clocks, fractured glass, and ephemeral materials populated Dave’s canvases, serving as metaphors for life’s impermanence.
"This piece reflected the balance between what we could control and what we couldn’t, and how the gray areas in life often held the most insight," he said.
