Ningning in Optical Glass signed and dated 2017 carved clear optical glass H: 10 3/4" (27 cm) W: 7 1/2" (19 cm) L: 7 1/4" (18 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot PROVENANCE Acquired directly from the artist A play on the nickname of his second daughter, Ramon Orlina’s Ningning series encapsulates the joy, struggles, and triumphs of motherhood and nourishment. Inspired by the sight of his two-yearold daughter still breastfeeding, the female body became a source of inspiration and exultation. As art critic Eric Torres succinctly described Ningning’s fascinating attributes: “The female breast Orlina exhorts is no mere object of voyeuristic prurience. [...] It is also a salute to the curve and the sphere as with an eye to perfection of form and finish. Orlina goes beyond the sensuous in the metaphysical.” (Hannah Valiente)
