BIOGRAPHY INGER SKAU - LECTURER IN ART HISTORY March 24, 2017 Noel Villafuerte. When you meet the world of Noel Villafuerte's paintings your first impression is, that here you have an artist delivering his inner world in pictures and not words. It is as if you are confronted with his instincts his irrational and creating forces. As if ancient universal signals are emerging in new deeply personal pictures. Faces masks and especially the eye that sees recurs in many pictures. The signs can be as well symbolic as surreal. You are carried around in several corners of the emotional spectrum e.g. delight, eroticism, curiosity, anxiety and powerlessness. The pictures are telling stories in a mode of expression, ranging from tight compositions to free dynamic movements. In the main part of the pictures colors are combined with a strong graphic expression. Basically we meet a spontaneous abstract pictorial expression. An expression which has it's roots in Noel's ancestry - Philippines- but it is also to find at the artist group COBRA from the mid-1900. COBRA was an association of artists from CO-Copenhagen, BR-Brussels and A-Amsterdam. As in COBRA Noel is working with something original and unspoiled. You are meeting a lovely fantasy wold.
