Exhibition Info Works About Available Online SIMULA, SUBOK, PANATA Aeron Dizon Ronwel Cruz Soothsayer February 15 - March 14, 2026 SIMULA, SUBOK, PANATA A Three-Man Exhibition on the Stages of Love Love is never a single moment. It is a passage—tentative, demanding, and deliberate. Simula, Subok, Panata brings together Soothsayer, Aeron Dizon, and Ronwel Cruz in an exploration of love not as an idealized destination, but as a lived, evolving experience. Through distinct visual languages, the artists trace love’s movement from anticipation, to trial, to commitment—where emotions mature and meaning deepens over time. The exhibition begins with Simula (Getting to Know)—the fragile threshold where love first takes shape. Here, affection exists in glances, curiosity, and imagined futures. It is tender and incomplete, marked by projection and possibility. This stage captures love before certainty, when hope is louder than truth and vulnerability is still unguarded. It then unfolds into Subok (The Test / Dating Stage)—where emotions encounter reality. Desire intensifies, intimacy grows, and friction inevitably appears. This stage reflects negotiation: between self and other, freedom and attachment, expectation and compromise. Love is no longer hypothetical; it is tested, questioned, and reshaped. The journey culminates in Panata (Marriage / Commitment)—love as a conscious, enduring choice. Beyond romance, this stage confronts routine, responsibility, sacrifice, and shared life. Here, love is no longer performative or symbolic; it is sustained through patience, presence, and resilience. It is quieter, heavier, and more honest. Together, Simula, Subok, Panata presents love as a process rather than a promise— messy, evolving, and deeply human.

Exhibition Info Works About By Inquiry Only Available Online The Present Tense July 08 - Aug 07, 2025 Archie Sumilang "The Present Tense" by Archie Sumilang Art is often a response to the unfiltered sensations of living: the fleeting thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape our days. In The Present Tense , Archie Sumilang invites us into the immediacy of creation—an intimate dialogue with the present moment. Each piece in this collection is a reflection of what it means to embrace the "now." Free from overplanning or pretense, the works capture the artist’s intuitive impulses, revealing a raw, unpolished authenticity. Through spontaneous gestures, unexpected textures, and vibrant forms, the art embodies the transient beauty of life as it unfolds. For Archie Sumilang, this process is not about perfection but about presence. It is about surrendering to the flow of creativity and honoring the emotions and ideas that arise in real time. In doing so, the works become more than static objects; they are living records of the artist’s experience, offering viewers a moment of connection, introspection, and resonance. The Present Tense is an ode to mindfulness and spontaneity, reminding us that art, like life, is most profound when lived in the moment.

The series offers a glimpse into Aziel’s dreamscape—a realm where he reigns as prince within a kingdom shaped by light and shadow. Through this imagined world, he navigates beauty, calm, and self-discovery, especially through his deep connection to water.

Exhibition Info Works About Available Online Anchored in Grace April 23 - May 22, 2025 Rizdy Kahulugan In Anchored in Grace, abstract artist Rizdy Kahulugan presents a deeply personal collection where each painting serves as a response to titles such as My Lord and Savior, God Is Our Refuge, How Majestic Is Your Name, My Deliverer, and My Hope. These titles act as emotional starting points — not literal themes, but inner prompts that guide the artist’s hand and evoke deeply felt responses. Through bold color combinations, layered textures, and organic movement, Kahulugan translates emotion into form. His works are not intended as illustrations of specific verses or teachings, but as raw expressions of how these words feel. The calm of Peace, the quiet resilience of Perseverance, the radiance of Love, and the complexity of Hope each find their voice in a visual language that speaks directly to the senses. In this exhibition, abstraction is more than a technique — it becomes a means of exploring the weight behind the words. Anchored in Grace is not about doctrine or dogma; it is about connection. It is about feeling the emotional depth beneath each title and experiencing how color, shape, and silence can communicate what language sometimes cannot. The viewer is invited to embark on a journey of personal reflection, where faith, hope, and strength take on forms both familiar and new.

Exhibition Info Works About Intermingling Force October 22 - November 05, 2022 Amador Barquilla Carlo Ongchangco Ann Baldemor-Moneda Amiel Cagayat Francis Nacion Almer Moneda Melissa Yeung-Yap Jonathan Dangue Evolution is never static. In Philippine Art, it is expressed in various forms that are the product of the “intermingling forces” of history, culture, artistic influences from within and without, individual artistry, and the market. As the sociologist Emile Durkheim has expressed, “each generation is reared by its predecessor; the latter must therefore improve in order to improve its successor.” Like a spiral, things go seemingly in a circle, but seen from the lens of history, it circles always forward. Such is the case of the first public exhibition of OpenArt Gallery’s exhibition at ArtistSpace where the selection of works by Amador Barquilla, Ann Baldemor-Moneda, Amiel Cagayat, Jonathan Dangue, Francis Nacion, Almer Moneda, Carlo Ongchangco, and Melissa Yeung Yap reflect what resonates with Philippine culture, like those who have before them, but with their individual artistic predilections. Like the bucolic genre of the grand master of Philippine Art, Fernando Amorsolo, the works of Amador Barquilla, Amiel Cagayat, Francis Nacion, Almer Moneda and Carlo Ongchangco echo strains of peaceful bounty and the joys of the simple life. Their approach is tempered by nostalgia, as with the case of Barquilla, Baldemor, Cagayat, Nacion, and Moneda, or by youthful fantasy such as in the works of Ongchangco. Their works reflect various and more recent aesthetic influences that they have devoted their time delving into, like the works of Bencab, Malang, Van Gogh, even Murakami; creating contemporary expressions of the Philippine Genre. Showing influences of international Abstract Expressionism alongside those of the local, Ann Baldemor – Moneda , Melissa Yeung Yap, and Jonathan Dangue create more subjective abstracts that still resonate with Philippine culture. Baldemor Moneda’s foliar abstractions echo the influences of Malang and Kiukok. While Yeung Yap’s use t’boli textiles for her foliar works as a way to connect to and support local indigenous culture and Philippine artisanal traditions. Dangue’s angular abstractions meanwhile continue the spiral that Abueva, Saprid, and Castrillo likewise belong to. “Intermingling Forces” represent segments of Philippine Art in the spiralic loop of the contemporary: one with resonates with the past, integrates the present, and marches on to the future in resonance with truly Philippine values of peace, generosity, joy, and harmony. Together, these artists represent effective strains of what Filipinos value, as well as how these constants which define our culture are expressed at this time.

Exhibition Info Works About Available Online Quiet Structures Karl Lago January 05 - February 04, 2025 In Quiet Structures, Karl Lago presents a series of assemblages that dwell in restraint, attentiveness, and material sensitivity. Using dried palm cuttings as his primary medium, Lago constructs abstract forms that feel simultaneously intentional and unforced—shaped as much by patience as by composition. Each work is built through layering and balance rather than dominance. The palm fragments retain their natural grain, curvature, and irregularity, allowing the material to guide the final form. Acrylic is applied sparingly, functioning as an accent rather than a surface, introducing moments of color that breathe within the structure instead of overwhelming it. Earth tones are punctuated by soft blues, muted greens, and occasional brighter notes, creating a visual rhythm that mirrors organic growth. The structures that emerge are neither rigid nor chaotic. They occupy a space of quiet tension—holding together through subtle relationships rather than obvious symmetry. Titles such as You are a Garden, Sit with the Quiet, and Softer Volumes position the works as invitations to slow looking, where meaning unfolds through duration and attention. Rather than depicting nature, Quiet Structures listens to it. The works propose abstraction as a contemplative act—one rooted in care, stillness, and the understanding that structure does not require force. In this series, Lago offers forms that do not demand to be seen quickly, but reward those willing to pause.
