“I-Lann’s art has transcended politics, geography and all kinds of hardship to land softly in museums, galleries, biennales and homes,” says Rachel Rillo, the co-director of Silverlens Gallery, which represents Yee. “Her art also lands, and stays, in your subconscious.

In this video, Keka Enriquez walks us through her journey as an artist, from her beginnings with her mentor Roberto Chabet, to her move abroad and subsequent rediscovery of painting. ‘Points and Endings’ is Keka Enriquez’s first solo exhibition in Manila since 2008, showcasing work from the 1980s, made in Manila, to the present, made in her home city for the last 20 years, San Francisco. Domestic interiors rendered in dynamic brushwork, bold colors, and innovative form wherein she explores the house as both a familiar place and an aspirational ideal is exhibited alongside newly-made works of dense abstract scenes that, upon closer inspection, reveal figurative silhouettes–a man’s face, a child, a dog–among interiors and exteriors alike.
