MANILA, PHILIPPINES– SILVERLENS is pleased to present Apothecary: Prelude, an exhibition by Cebu-based artist, Yvonne Quisumbing.
For her second solo show with the gallery, the artist presents a new set from her APOTHECARY series: ten paintings executed on a sculptural medium – fibreglass.
These pieces, rooted in Philippine heritage and pregnant with symbolism, demonstrate Quisumbing’s range as an artist, references as a fashion designer, and reflections as a woman.
The APOTHECARY series was started by Yvonne Quisumbing in 2018. It was inspired by Dr. Eduardo Quisumbing’s Medicinal Plants of the Philippines (1951, 1978), a well-known book on the healing properties and applications of Philippine flora.
SILVERLENS’ physical space is open, but gallery visits are strictly by appointment only. Schedule your visit here. The exhibition is also accessible through a digital catalogue, which will be released on 17 October 2020 at 10:00 AM, Manila time (GMT +8).
