About

    Silverlens is pleased to present Collectors Plus, on view from 30 May to 11 July 2026 at the Silverlens Den. 

    Tracing parallel investigations into image, structure, gesture, and spatial perception, this iteration brings together a focused selection of works from Southeast Asian contemporary practice articulated across the past three decades.

    The exhibition foregrounds material experimentation and formal inquiry through the works of Raffy Napay, Syagini Ratna Wulan, and Syaiful Garibaldi. Napay employs a distinct thread on canvas technique to create tactile surfaces, while Wulan expands painting into a field of atmospheric movement. These are complemented by Garibaldi, who uses spores on paper to foreground the microscopic architecture of life. Pivotal career moments are also highlighted, such as Geraldine Javier’s 2010 work which bridges the organic and the manufactured by combining oil painting with embroidery and preserved insects.

    Representing a more contemporary timeline, Dina Gadia utilizes a collage based logic to subvert mid century graphic tropes and modern social anxieties. Similarly, Pow Martinez is represented by a decade of evolution, demonstrating a consistent ability to translate the grotesque and the mundane into monumental painting. The exhibition also features an intimate look at the domestic through the works of Yasmin Sison, who captures the vulnerability of childhood. These are placed in dialogue with Gilda Cordero Fernando, whose aquarelle works reflect a whimsical yet poignant perspective on Filipino life.

    The presentation is further contextualized by the meticulous graphite works of Patricia Perez Eustaquio and the rigorous formal inquiries of Maria Taniguchi and Mit Jai Inn. Jai Inn’s compositions ground his practice in themes of impermanence and the passage of time. Complemented by the evocative paintings of Soler Santos and Gene Paul Martin, the exhibition resists a linear narrative, allowing diverse practices to intersect, interrupt, and refract one another.

    Collectors Plus is on view from 30 May to 11 July 2026 at the Silverlens Den.
