Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
We see a mix of lush vista of nature and wreckage, punctuated by the images of 3 women in a dance gesture- each waving a kerchief with the iconic Zamboanga vinta sail motif. The grace and the color of the dancing women underline Mother Nature’s beauty in spite of the frequent calamities like flood, earthquake, and drought, happening in the natural landscape, not only in my city but globally. Environmental protection is the emerging issue here, and Art is one way to address it. Global warming and the havoc of flood it brings, are only some expressions of the actual crises produced by pollution and the exploitation of nature. Repentant perhaps of his unmindfulness which brought this present mess, a man moves a heavy hourglass (all the more made heavier by a perching checkerboard-clad youth clicking a photo with her techno gadget) as if to fast-pace a solution. The future seems grey. But there is still time.

The vision and concept that inform Edwin Jumalon’s art practice is not the depiction of nature or the linear recording of life experiences. Rather, it is finding the way of shaping incidental narratives through recontextualization of imageries. His liking for synthesis is the factor that makes his art come to light- that which adds up to permitting free rein to the imagination. Eliciting nonrational, divergent, “accidental” messages to unfold in the process, Jumalon’s subject takes place during the act of painting. He juxtaposes images from memory, photographs, nature, and drawings - not of nostalgia, but of spatial play, building up the work and inventing the subject matter. He aims for the composition to be holistic- not to reconstruct sentiments or to rescue memories but to present as effect of the spontaneous excursion with perception. Jumalon lets out unintended narratives to emerge in his paintings...narratives that evoke, rather than describe.
