Pow Martinez
Silverlens, Manila
Silverlens is pleased to announce Pow Martinez at Silverlens Manila, opening 25 July 2024. Pow Martinez often describes his practice as “what a nature painter might do in a digital landscape,” rendering surreal, whimsical, at times unsettling, scenes in bold colors and whimsical compositions. The worlds he depicts are derived from the digital landscape we often find ourselves immersed in, his inspirations being movie tropes, pop culture moments, and the broader expanse of the online space.
