This piece is a homage to being born & raised on the island of Oahu, on the leeward side, far as can be from the tourism & sky reaching hotels, where pidgin was the main form of communication. A prayer of sorts to the late Queen Liliuokalani, to how Hawai'i could've been, using symbolic tattoo references from both traditional Hawaiian & Pinoy cultures along with modern post-colonialism references.

The Love Of An Unborn

MAY 2023, CONEY ISLAND, NEW YORK
For the love of an unborn, Tania
This shot never fails to illustrate to me how nature is capable of
bestowing tremendous significance upon even the most
inconsequential of things. It was nothing more than a simple creation
of crochet- flowers, and it's one that's seen rather regularly. The
emotional bond that exists between a mother and a child is
beautifully captured in this photograph.

I'm a printmaker working primarily in Lithography, my works often
depict the process of growth and decay, and an interest in the human
body. The subjects within my prints frequently represent the idea of
dislocation, isolation and a sense of loss. I hope to learn and uncover
the connection and disconnection between self and non-self or the
‘native’ and the ‘foreign’.
Born in the Philippines, Paul Anthony Galang spent most of his
childhood in an Ilocano household before he immigrated to O‘ahu in
2001. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the
University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, where he also worked as a Teaching
Assistant and Printmaking Lab Supervisor. In recent years, he has
been a Teaching Artist for both the Honolulu Museum of Art and the
Honolulu Printmakers. He has exhibited solo shows in Honolulu,
most recent being at the Honolulu Printmakers. He has also shown
works in Queensland College of Art in Australia, Women’s Studio
Workshop in New York, Tokyo Midtown in Tokyo, Japan and many
other venues. He has received several printmaking awards in local
juried shows, the most recent being the George R. Ellis Award for the
2023 Annual Honolulu Printmakers Exhibition, in which he was also
selected as the Gift Print artist that same year.

“Strange how life is. Both simple and complex. Full of contrasts and
contradictions. My present life is in constant struggle with my past. Finding
comfort in my faith and companionship in my demons. The divinity hides
while the occult reveals, but together makes great teachers. Life, just as
important as death. For me, balance is key.
A lot of my inspiration comes from my past, either cultural or personal. It
motivates my creativity and paintings. I try to find the balance of order and
chaos in my compositions. Everything has a place and every place has a
thing. I adore using bright saturation of color as my foundation and
symbolism to drive my viewers' curiosity.”
Darold Ramelb is a self-taught acrylic and watercolor artist based in
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi who immigrated to Oʻahu with his family from the
Ilocos region of the Philippines in 1994. He pulls a lot of his inspirations
from past experiences that are deeply rooted in his heritage while also
fusing contemporary design, illustration, and his love of folk art. This lends
his body of work a sense of foreign surrealism which at times feel oddly
familiar.
His unique style landed him several Best In Show awards from the Hawaiʻi
Watercolor Society in 2022 & 2023. He also had a piece chosen by the State
Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) as part of their Arts in Public
Places Collection and Accession exhibit at the Hawaiʻi State Museum in
2022. He hopes to further share parts of his life through his art and to
inspire other creatives to keep improving and evolving their craft.
Despite having restarted his journey only a few years ago, he is determined
to continuously refine his craft and present his art to the world through a
range of forthcoming art exhibitions, competitions, and other opportunities.
He hopes to further share parts of his life through his art and to inspire other
creatives to keep improving and evolving their craft.
Through his medium, he brings stories, teachings, and experiences to life on
canvas, which would otherwise be challenging to express verbally. I often
sparks dialogue that is shared and perpetuated, much like how cultures have
passed down stories from generation to generation. The symbolic
representations within his art are often deliberate, yet at times, they occur
unintentionally, leaving it up to the viewer's interpretation.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Kathy Chang is a painter who has a distinctive body of work featuring her iconic kids. When she is drawn to paint
certain images, she tries not to question why, but follows the nudge. It is an interesting part of the process when things start to unfold. For Kathy,
there is a message that is revealed and she hopes that the viewer also takes away something that resonates with their own personal story.
Just as with children, who live in a world of stories, symbols and metaphors before grasping literal language, Kathy uses this form of
communication. She fills her paintings with this visual language.

Diptych, colored pencil on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5"
$380
Anika Kuntze is a 50 year old Honolulu based artist. She immigrated
here from Berlin Germany in 2017. Her art can best be described as
surreal visionary art even though it is hard to find a label for her
unique style.
Her work deals with the reassuring circles of regeneration and
transformation. Inner and outer worlds are explored in this process.
She uses various mediums to represent the elements and materials
Mother Earth has to offer. Experimenting and playing is a crucial
part in her creative process.
Her larger works are full of detail created in a meditative – and
conscious flow state.
As the viewer moves closer he/she can get lost in a world of shapes
and surreal forms, a world of shadow and light. When looked at from
a distance the image we see can appear as something very different.
It comes across as an optical play, zooming in and out is part of the
desired process.

Gilbert Saoit is an American Filipino Artist living and working in

Chicago (SAIC 2001 BFA ) with interdiscplinary studies and training
focused primarily on design, fashion and painting.
His designs and art have won numerous awards that has allowed him
to previously intern in London and work with some of fashion's top
designers.
A stroll in life's challenges and new pavements have allowed Gilbert
to revisit his passion for painting and design.
These new works are profound in defining the last 30 years of his life
as much to overcome grief, loneliness and explore the possibilities of
hope, gratitude, inspiration and forgiveness.
The fun play with reverberating lines, shapes and colors invite the
viewer to dance freely with the paintings and develop a purposeful
relationship and meaning behind every basic and intricate “mark
making”.
His Art serves as a motto of perseverance and encouragement in
continuing to create and live life unabashed as a Husband, Father,
Reverend and Artist.

These mixed media pieces were inspired by the two things that pop into my head when I think about being Filipinx. When I visited my late
grandfather in the Philippines, I saw how much he loved his Jeepney and I fell in love with it too. In remembrance of him, I have decided to make
a tribute to his jeepney. The other piece is a kamayan feast, inspired by the gatherings we have with family and people around the province in the
Philippines. We continue to have that type of gathering here in the US, keeping that tradition alive. My work usually consists of leathercraft and
shoe customization, which is why I chose to use deconstructed shoes as a base for the diorama.

"In this small painting, I delve into the comical and the profound,
using the humble "Ligo" Sardine can as a powerful symbol. This
iconic Filipino staple reflects the ongoing drama of our politics,
gossip and canceled culture, as seen in the uproar it caused in 2020
for the Ligo Brand.
Just like sardines, we're trapped in a can, marinating in the chaos of
our society, preserved yet constrained.
It's both repulsive and beautiful.
As Ligo means 'to bathe,' it's a reminder that we need to wash away
the politics that keep us canned, and emerge fresh and united for a
better future."

Mixed media on B5 (176mmx250mm / 6.9in x 9.8in) wood panel
$188
Infinity Lumpia is a juxtaposition of technology and handcrafting;
trying to be cinematic and folk art at the same time. This scene
captures a long standing family tradition and our modern
new-normal. It’s the struggle of anyone overseas for work (like many
Filip.inx), missing home and family while trying to make the best of
it. “When the months start ending in -ber, it’s Christmas.” That
signals it’s the season for lumpia making! Infinity lumpia is a scene
of a few years of marriage, teaching husband how to roll, our little
dog, Chief (whom we wish we had an infinity of) and a big move to
日本. This piece incorporates fabrics from Ilocos Norte, a very
personal place of heart and roots. The piece is made to be
reminiscent of a fond memory buried in a hoarded pile of what-nots
in our aging parent’s house.

Florani was born and raised in Cebu, Philippines, and has been creating art since she was eight. She moved to Oahu, Hawai’i at the age of 17 with
her family and fell in love with the art of photography. At age 20, she discovered oil painting and has been practicing it at the University of
Hawai’i as a Fine Arts student. Florani’s art is an ever-evolving narrative of her life as a first-generation immigrant from the Philippines, unfolding
against the diverse cultures of Hawai'i. Her journey is a delicate balance between nurturing the connection to her roots and embracing the
opportunities for self-discovery and growth. Her art bridges her Filipino heritage to the ever-evolving narrative of her life in Hawai'i. It speaks to
the hearts of immigrants and individuals navigating the complexities of culture and self-discovery.
