Raymond Guevarra transcends the simple aesthetic pleasure of observing an artwork with his interactive mixed-media artworks. He invites the audience to step away from the spectator role and experience art in a way that is as unique and animated as his techniques. Exploring themes of lively childhood nostalgia and pop culture novelty, Guevarra innovates with different mediums—paints, woods, and found objects—to create pieces that are both reminiscent of the past and celebratory of the future.

Konan Lim portrays the whimsy and wonder of childhood by combining the metaphysical with the realistic. The characters stand out among playful elements blended with a touch of dark and suspicious fairytale, giving a through-the-looking-glass twist to pop surrealism. Lim’s paintings are illustrative of the way modern artists connect with their creative imagination.
