To give answers and ask questions, the exhibition Gossamer Paints... Read more

Interstice

Rhaz Oriente 31 Oct - 30 Nov 2024 Rhaz Oriente’s austere treatment of the stained glass achieves a unified form in Interstice—an arrangement of 10x10 inch panels within a grid.

Henrielle Baltazar Pagkaliwangan 31 Oct - 30 Nov 2024 Is it still, Life?

sanctuary for the strays

Jemima Yabes 26 Sep - 26 Oct 2024 From the outset, Jemima Yabes’s practice has shown a commitment to the unnoticed. Her painterly concern with life often catches it at its most unassuming: like a gumamela in quiet bloom, a dog sleeping, or pork carcass hung to dry and tenderize. Inconspicuous life forms in wonted states—a practice that... Read more

COSMIC JOKE

August Lyle Espino 26 Sep - 26 Oct 2024 “From the first standpoint, the worst is going to happen.
