To coincide with ‘Wawi Navarroza: The Other Shore’, Silverlens New York will present a collection of new miniature paintings on capiz shells by Gregory Halili in the Viewing Room.

Silverlens New York is pleased to kick off 2024 with a solo exhibition by Filipina artist Wawi Navarroza. Known for her large format photographic tableaus and self-portraits, the exhibition will mark the artist’s first solo show in the United States.

In her art and beyond, Tessy Pettyjohn is looking for tranquility. With “A Light in Everything,” her second solo exhibition at Silverlens Gallery, Pettyjohn unveils a new series of sculptural clay works with the intention of illuminating forms seen only during the act of meditation, a practice that has long informed her art-making process, from concept to creation.

Motivated by Jose Rizal’s poem "Memories of My Town," this exhibition surveils, appropriates, and reconstitutes American-occupation archival materials, presenting them into stupendous flora: the paper cutouts of which Villamael is the foremost practitioner. Whether encased in vitrines or flourishing in the open, the works consider history not as an end, but a means—a medium—through which parallelisms between the past and the post-colonial present may be drawn.
