Matthew Aguilar TACTACAN @lugicusp Clean Sweep Mixed Media on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $188 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.

Fox WONG @inunkitsune The Love Of An Unborn Photograph on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $200 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. Shot by Rolleiflex 2.8F, original size 6 x 6.

Paul GALANG @thepaulgalang Baddest Stamp Mixed Media Print on Wood Panel 10" x 8" x 1.5" $150 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.

Ellis Award for the 2023 Annual Honolulu Printmakers Exhibition, in which he was also selected as the Gift Print artist that same year.

Darold RAMELB @retro_dada Reina Op.1 Acrylic on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $120 “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.

Kathy CHANG @k.stanette Rainbow # 24 Acrylic and oil on wood $300 --------------------------------------------- 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.

Anika KUNTZE @snikker73 69 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 @saoitartist COMIC CODE Acrylic and Markers on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $200 Sequential drawings of images, coded through collected found objects and muses. Experiencing my work has some fashion sensibility in where the most boring shoe becomes a cherished classic. --------------------------------------------- Gilbert Saoit is an American Filipino Artist living and working in Hawaii. He is an Alumni from The School of The Art Institute of 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.

Rechelle ANCHETA @piggycre8s_studio PAMYLIA (family) NFS (Private Collection) 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.

He began his career in 1999 within the Los Angeles underground culture of graffiti writing, which serves as the foundation for his current process and aesthetic.

Nanea LUM @nanealum Momilani turns seven Charcoal and gouache on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $200 Momilani turns seven, 2023 is the second portrait that Nanea Lum has painted of her beloved Black Lab mix. The love in the eyes of our pets is the motivation for painting this portrait, capturing the temporal calm of a fast moving athletic dog. While joking about the neighborhood in Salt Lake O’ahu that Momilani was raised in; she is blessed to have been raised in a Filipino neighborhood which never sought to put her in the Dinuguan. -------------------------------------------- Nanea Lum is a graduate of the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in the Masters of Fine Arts program of the Department of Art and Art History. Her areas of specialization include Hawaiian traditional craft techniques and art decolonization; applying methods of place-based learning and indigenous knowledge.

Bryzane LAGMAY @brahzane (the Ligo Series) " Binyagan ang Ating Sarili sa Langis ng Oliba para Maitago ang Hindi Kanais-nais sa saloobin" (Baptize Ourselves in Olive Oil to Conceal the Unpleasant Within) Mixed Media on wood panel 10" x 8" x 1.5" $135 "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."

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. -------------------------------------------- Date By Date Productions is husband-and-wife team, Eric C Morgan (@ecm_vision) and Marysol A.

Florani CAMACHO @art.florani Prutas Oil on wood 10" x 8" x 1.5" $175 -------------------------------------------- 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.
