ART-IN-PROGRESS BY MARCO Y. SANTOS
On view through August 29 at the 3F Bridgeway Gallery |
|
|---|
|
This exhibition traces the unfolding practice of Marco Santos through works shaped by reflection, experimentation, and continuous transformation. Structured in chapters, the exhibition moves with a deliberate rhythm—each body of work revealing different ways of approaching form, absence, emotion, and expression. Together, these chapters reflect an evolving relationship between artist and medium: shaped by arrival and pursuit.
Marco Yuchengco Santos (b. 1969), also known as MYSAN, is a self-taught artist whose torched works push the boundaries of medium and experimentation. An engineer by degree and businessman in practice, Marco worked as an entrepreneur for almost 30 years before he found his passion for creating art at the age of 53. Inspiration struck during the pandemic when he began experimenting with old gin bottles, paint, and a blowtorch. Marco has since expanded his art practice to wood and acrylic, maintaining that the medium is what informs his creative process. |

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JAIME DE GUZMAN
From the collection of Saul Hofileña Jr.
On view through August 15 at the 3F Galleries |
|
|---|
|
Jaime de Guzman (1942–2023) explored identity, emotion, and landscape through painting. His artistic development moved from early experimentation and expressionist intensity to spiritual landscape works and reflective figurative paintings later in his life. It is through this lens that this viewing experience highlights themes of his explorations.
The World According to Jaime de Guzman features rarely displayed paintings & pottery from the collection of art historian, Saul Hofileña Jr. This exhibition unveils a unique side to de Guzman’s diverse artistry — one of peace, belief, & an invaluable sense of community. |
