The Historic Odessa Foundation is pleased to present “Common Ground: Landscapes, City Views, and Quiet Rooms,” a new exhibition featuring the work of Filipino-American painter Rolando Corpus, on view April 28 through June 28, 2026.
Corpus, born in Manila, Philippines, and now based in New Castle County, Delaware, brings a deeply observational approach to his oil paintings. His work explores landscapes, urban environments, and interior spaces, with a particular emphasis on the role of light in shaping mood and perception.
He began painting at a young age and apprenticed under his uncle, Federico Aguilar Alcuaz, a renowned Filipino National Artist. Corpus later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Saint Joseph’s University and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
Through subtle shifts in color and illumination, Corpus transforms everyday scenes into evocative compositions that highlight atmosphere and character. His style blends realism with expressive, intentional brushwork, allowing gesture and environment to coexist on the canvas. Drawing inspiration from places he has visited, his paintings capture how light alters familiar settings, translating lived experience into visual form.
An artist reception will be held Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Guests are invited to meet the artist and view the exhibition. RSVP to Jennifer Cabell Kostik at 302-378-4119 or [email protected].
