Cartellino Art | New Territories

Collaboration is not just about working out the differences, but also facing challenges in putting together a portfolio that would match together two different styles in an art form or any particular partnership that avoids overlapping each other’s work for a harmonious flow of creativity that would convey an organic equality in making something fresh and new to the eyes of those who would discover it. It’s like conquering “New Territories” that continue to be relevant, and subjective, and have the inspiration to present new vibrant things that continue to scale the heights of their newfound artistry that they have not done individually, which is the latest two-artist exhibit with CABNOV & Haraya Ocampo-Tejido.

Galerie Stephanie | Flourish

There are so many contemporary artists today that you might have overlooked some of the up-and-coming talents. You may find inspiration in their works when you randomly come across them while you are in a local shopping centre or just casually notice many people gathering to see what was the commotion over something colourful and inviting. This is where Kim Borja “Flourish” in her latest solo art show for Galerie Stephanie, which just had a reception early this evening taking you to a special place that is warm and bright with full of glow emanating from the optimistic look at her works as one of the latest exhibits for the gallery despite the weather the poured in the city.

Galerie Stephanie | Yutori

“Yutori” is a Japanese word or term “a state of sufficiency and ease” that is also the title of Mr. S’ first-ever solo exhibition at the newly relocated Galerie Stephanie, which opened less than a week ago. The profound artwork of Mr. S continues to evolve with the artist's inspiration stemming from his travels in Japan and Korea. This solo show culminates not only the opening of the gallery’s new location but also introduces new works from Mr. S who has not had his very own exhibition since 2016. It was a welcome sight to see all the work put together in bringing a fresh take on his ever-evolving work from his everyday life and personal travels inspired by these masterful artworks that you see in this show.

Galerie Stephanie | Olympus

“Olympus” is a word or a place used in the Greek Mythology. In some contexts it’s a mountain in Greece or home of the gods. It can define to someone ‘who has pinnacle of success,” which is the title of the solo show for Jomike Tejido starting the new year right with refreshing concepts that he continues to build and challenge himself. For this year, Jomike mixes up with his refreshing art style and adding installations to round up a narrative that convey that’s something far from the Greek Mythology or mount Olympus. But it speaks volumes to how he put together this show that is like pushing himself to make it on top of mountain of challenges in taking you to his journey as an ever evolving contemporary artist.

Galerie Stephanie | Prismal Paths

There are wonderful things that some might not be interested into, but when you try to interpret these works, which gives a new meaning to any individual who would describe them in their perspective. They may be lines and colours, but for art is always subjective in nature that is redefined in a fresh perspective. Galerie Stephanie’s current two-man show featuring Pepe Delfin and Jomike Tejido has been up since April 19th, and will be having its last viewing tomorrow as of this writing, which is winding down. The images may not do justice in seeing them best in person to give this show a send-off, but if you haven’t had the time here they are…

Jomike Tejido | From Transformers to TRANS ITIONS

03.03.2019 – In the last two years the contemporary art scene in the Philippines has become a regular staple of events over the weekend like every Saturday there’s a new solo or group show featuring these talented individuals. There’s more to just appreciating art and call it for what it was and rarely you’ll find that you gravitate to. But there are others who have been around to showcase their artistry that define what truly appreciative about what is out there. Jomike Tejido is one of these talented individuals that you’ll find his work unique that makes him stand out. This is his tenth solo show that deserves a spotlight that you may find it interesting.
