The inaugural edition of the gallery’s Spotlight Series unveils a captivating array of works by emerging contemporary artists, each carving their niche in the local art scene. With no thematic constraints, the artists offer glimpses into their current artistic prowesses and individualistic expressions.
Featuring a diverse lineup including Jo Aguilar, Marybob Arce, Margaux Blas, Ikang Gonzales, Alai Laia, Erika Mayo, Jasmine Therese Santos, Marco Tabamo, and Ja Turla, this showcase promises an eclectic journey through the minds of these burgeoning talents.
From Jo Aguilar’s poignant commentary on consumerism to Marco Tabamo’s exploration of queer identity through urban realism, each artist brings forth a unique perspective and narrative. Margaux Blas draws from her agricultural heritage and urban experiences while Ja Turla employs hand embroidery as a therapeutic outlet to navigate her mental health journey.
With mediums ranging from painting to embroidery, these artists delve into the depths of human emotion, societal constructs, and personal experiences, inviting viewers to engage in thought-provoking dialogues while reveling in the beauty of artistic expression.
