About

    Pow Martinez is a recipient of the Ateneo Art Awards for 1 billion years exhibition in West Gallery, Philippines. He exhibits internationally and has worked with different media including sound. His recent group exhibitions include Bastards of Misrepresentation New York and Berlin editions, Salvation in a Nest of Vipers in Melbourne, Australia, and Complete and Unabridged in Osage Gallery, Hong Kong. Martinez has also held a number of solo shows in major galleries in Manila, most Recently, Dogs Playing Poker, in Manila Contemporary.

    Martinez’s paintings belie their grotesque subject matter with indelibly beautiful surfaces and a wide ranging, daring use of color. Mutants, monsters, demons, deviants, and freaks lurch, sit and appear to transform amidst weirdly lit landscape or disintegrating urban scenarios ,or emerge from a painterly graffito mess, but, as his more abstracted works insist, pow’s ability to render intriguing relationships between forms and surfaces ensure his works are endlessly compelling – an experience akin to a beautiful nightmare.

    Jigger P. Cruz is a Filipino abstract artist. He graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts, Major in Advertising at the Far Eastern University. He is a color blind artist, who explores his own color comprehension. For him, sophisticated emotions can be seen and obtained from simple forms.

    His works circulate in geometric figures of swaying cadent mime. The idea of recognizable shapes and structures, living in inconsequent notions and emotions explores the affinity between moving element structures.

    He has exhibited in Manila, Singapore, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, England, and the US.
