ART FAIR PHILIPPINES 2020
Booth 36, Level 6
This early spring, Mind Set Art Center is pleased to take part in the 2020 Art Fair Philippines again with a group exhibition of Filipino artists and talents from different regions. The participating artists include: Victor BALANON, Marina CRUZ, Rao FU, Gab FERRER, JHONG Jiang-Ze, Jem MAGBANUA, Ana Maria MICU, Hanna PETTYJOHN, Juin SHIEH, and TANG Jo-Hung. The fair will hold its preview Thursday, 20 February and open to the public from 21 to 23 February. We cordially invite you to attend the event.
Most of exhibits are inspired by the artists’ normal encounters with acquaintances, things and landscapes. With their brush and laborious work, they travel within fractions in life and generate philosophical reflective thoughts toward the relationship between people and objects, also the connotations of emotion and life. Marina CRUZ’s practice revolve around the memory and history of her family. The creative evolution of CRUZ sees her probing into the stories of personal life and family memories, seeping down to the varying looks of the linings and textures weathered through time, to the local views and presentation of the clothing's details reconnecting with the person who once wore it, becoming at one. This time she will disclose her bronze work Frozen Moment: Elisa’s Dress in the Philippines for the first time. Jem MAGBANUA’s drawings “lie between the mental and the physical where structural space converge with the realm of intangible memories.” She creates the commonplace is a milieu of memory and the imaginary, a “mise-en-scène where personal objects of mundanity and comfort are brought into play. Being an artist always intimate with the interior and focus on its delineation, Ana Maria MICU renders her observed reality into paintings and the picture-in-picture tableau turns her investigation of exterior world into inner mediations, visualizing the mental activity simultaneously from this moment and the past. Hanna PETTYJOHN, naturally attach to both the Philippines and America, captures the essence of the sentiment of female immigrants and depicts their life stories via merging the portrait and the landscape of their home. Taiwanese artist Juin SHIEH’s drawing has created the layered and interwoven world of female sensibilities by employing floral shapes and female symbols in reflection of the path of her life and moments. As for the German-based Rao FU, Taiwanese artist JHONG Jiang-Ze and TANG Jo-Hung produce paintings of strong strokes and rich characters, which result into a staged theater referring a higher spiritual vibration.
