Silverlens is pleased to present 'Renato Orara: Entangled Pairs,' a major cross-continental exhibition of the artist's work, staged simultaneously across Silverlens' Manila and New York galleries. 'Entangled Pairs' consists of 100 lifelike ballpoint pen drawings of everyday objects: a glove and a plastic water bottle; a teapot and a hammer; a tomato and a butternut squash. These consecutively-made renderings are paired and split from their counterparts across two continents.

Ryan Villamael presents his first ever US solo exhibition 'ISLES' at Silverlens New York. 'ISLES' brings together all new paper-cut map sculptures encased in glass bell jars with an accompanying audio component—the artist's first foray into sound as a medium. For this deeply personal show, Villamael reflects on and traces connections between the Philippines' long and storied history of migration and his own family's story, highlighting a nation of people that have often found themselves the unfortunate casualties of collateral damage wrought by geopolitical tensions and negotiations.

One of four artists shortlisted for the prestigious 2024 Turner Prize, Pio Abad’s (b. 1983, Manila, Philippines; lives and works in London, England) art explores cultural loss and colonial histories, often reflecting on his upbringing in the Philippines. Featuring drawings, etchings and sculptures that depict and transform artifacts from Oxford museums, Abad highlights their overlooked histories and connections to everyday household items. He was nominated for his solo exhibition 'To Those Sitting in Darkness' at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
