MANILA
30 June - 30 July 2022
What Did The Tree Learn From The Earth To Be Able To Talk With The Sky
Silverlens, Manila
The painter, Elaine Navas, who has concentrated on life more than anything since the pandemic started, offers a much-needed introspection on the things that matter: to paint what one wants to see–-in thinking that every chance might come as the last. This serves as a countermeasure to the bleakness of our current state, where we have been exposed to the vulnerabilities of humanity—as well as to its resilience to continue and survive.

Anticipating the Day
Silverlens, Manila
Silverlens' Covid19-breaker show, Anticipating the Day, is only online. Instead of installing the works in the gallery, they are installed in the artists’ studios, in-situ. Showing a more raw, but also more alive and organic part of the process. It is a melding of what we showed during lockdown through our social media #athomewith series, and works that the artists have been making while on lockdown.

Painting Palettes / Palette Paintings II
Silverlens, Manila
It began as a dream by professor, mentor and confidant the late Roberto Chabet: a series of paintings of palettes. And Elaine Roberto-Navas happily obliged, first in 2014 then presently for the exhibition 'Painting Palettes/ Palette Paintings II'. Each palette collected from friends and colleagues turn into artefacts that intimately embodies its possessor.
