Gallery of Philippine Contemporary Art

Jonathan Ching

Ching describes his process in which he has arrived at this concept as painfully slow. Sometimes he obsessively clings to an idea, concept, or image, and when it is time to paint, “I usually take images out of their original context, sometimes I write texts and phrases onto them to put a new twist. Sometimes I would paint small paintings, showing just one object as an icon or a symbol, or a series of three to four paintings to convey an idea.”

Kulay-Diwa  is a venue for Philippines and Southeast Asian Contemporary Art. Inaugurated on February 7, 1987, Kulay-Diwa, is strategically located within a cluster of communities South of Manila.  It has five independent exhibition areas able to accommodate large-scale works and a garden ideal for programs, performances and sculpture installations.  The goals of the gallery are to discover and promote the works of young, talented but deserving Filipino Artists and to foster cultural interaction and exchanges with the local regions and other countries.
