STPI Gallery debuts in Art Fair Philippines with critically acclaimed Filipino artists Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, Ronald Ventura and the late Pacita Abad. Highlights include new seminal works from artist duo Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, derived from their ground-breaking exhibition 'Of Fragments and Impressions' (2017), where they transformed and reinterpreted their temporal installations into extensive material œuvres such as collagraphs, gritty shanty town houses and screen prints. These works are being shown internationally for the first time.
Also featured are Ventura's symbolic Point of Know Return series, hypothetical hazard signs which caution against the trappings of modern preoccupations; and a rare showcase of Abad's vivacious stenciled paper pulp works and lithographs. All these works, created in collaboration with the STPI Creative Workshop of professional printmakers and papermakers, are testaments to the boundless possibilities of printmaking.
STPI Gallery is the only Southeast Asian gallery to take part in all three editions of the Art Basel fairs and in 2017, it made its first-time participation in FIAC Paris. It will participate in The Armory Show 2018.
