Juan Alcazaren has made animated shorts, advertisements, music videos apart from being a sculpture and painter. In a previous installation work, he laboriously spend a time making 30 x 40 inch painted collages to cover an almost 20 x 50 ft. exhibition space. He also made an almost 10 ft high sculpture made of found objects. On a 12 x 12’ painting he painted palm size sculptures he himself made, elegant portable meditations or tangible prayers, assembled from various units he picked up on his daily quotidian travels.

Nilo Ilarde explores space, investigates contexts drastically and clinically. In one of his works, he peels off paint layers from the wall of an entire gallery revealing the accumulated paint history of the exhibition wall. Throughout his artistic life, Ilarde is producing mid-scale to large size collages. In his recent work he used ordinary hardware ruler to create a jigsaw puzzle and the image reveals Michelangelo’s “Creation”.

R.M. De Leon has been a prolific artist and painter for the longest time. Unfettered figures within lined vistas consummated through an intricately clear perspective yield products of R.M de Leon’s paintings. These vista works are playfully rendered unto the canvas with broad strokes and captivating colors; like a sixties comic strip fused with a Rorschach Ink Blot Test. The figures within and interpreted solely by the viewer; whatever one sees within the picture is entirely up to the mind. As one looks into each of the works, one can see that the lines which make up his terrain give the works a multidimensional quality; allowing the viewer to perceive the boulders and the various trees in a constantly shifting fore, middle, and background.

It is in the almost childish egoless representations of De Leon that the viewer can see gullies rivers, and ridges in the works. Maybe they are actually there and maybe not. R.M. De Leon remains an artist with an immaculate style; having resisted the various trendy influences that have often times been snapped up by other artists.

Jonathan Olazo is actively creating art that never fails to intrigue the viewers. His works questions the root of the matter of art; he post challenges and culls answers to his question, thus arriving on his purpose; art is redefined. In one show he filled the entire basement of a museum with installation work made of found objects, light boxes etc. consequently, sediments of the mind accumulated through the years. It reveals layers of history of the artist’s questioning the context of his surroundings. Recently he experiments on what he calls as unorthodox appearance of painting on canvas that appears questioning how  tangible the support is with the way he plays with the rhythm of the strokes. He coined it “experimental media”. To posit what the current situation of art is now—its relevance and use, a meter for our own mortality and apparent art’s own redemption.

Juni Salvador operates methodically, questioning the elements and qualities of painting and conceptual work, assimilating both thus produced a hybrid work of art. He once produced a series of small paintings asking artisans and students to participate and paint each individual view of a picture of sunset. In his recent work he uses family album photographs in black and white with silver lining to create his image of mother and children as valued in the everyday life.

Gerardo Tan dabbles in various media – photography, surveillance cameras, monitors and other indexing devices to adeptly explore the nature of exhibition spaces unlocking meanings in these contexts. In his recent work, he puts a surveillance camera and monitor inside a Hugo Boss bag then placed it in the middle of a gallery where curious viewers would see themselves when they peek in. The work quips: “You are what you buy”. The artist also organizes exhibitions and art activities for students to raise funds for them. He also administers an art school and teaches art.

RegYuson knows his way on managing industrial medium to produce a large-scale public sculptures both indoor and outdoor pieces. His small graphite drawings reflect the artist’s methods and his ability to calmly approach issues of spatial emphasis. He likens his art objects as cues for the subject he is contending with the absent object, the space itself. In his recent show, he puns the exhibition space where his sculpture is placed by covering his sculpture. A large minimal pipe lay down on the floor of a big room with the exact faux wood parquet material used on the floor of the actual room.
