Galerie Stephanie unveils three solo shows
Have you ever imagined what an artistic experience it would be to see a show featuring the works of three creative individuals from different backgrounds and practices?
Galerie Stephanie, a contemporary art gallery based in Mandaluyong City, is hosting three solo exhibitions this month featuring works by Filipina visual artist and art educator Jem Magbanua, architect and award-winning illustrator Jomike Tejido, and Indonesian conservator and contemporary artist Imam Santoso.
These three exhibits, on view until April 2, 2024, explore the interconnectedness of society and its man-made creations.
From the freedom to create, to profound solitudes and introspective mapping of one’s self, these exhibitions offer a diverse tapestry of architecture, society, and the pillars of the human psyche.

Filipina visual artist Magbanua presents a captivating exploration of movement, rhythm, and spatial dynamics in “Notes on Navigation and Other Oscillations.” Through a series of graphite works, she invites viewers to navigate through a labyrinth of shifting perspectives both in a physical and philosophical sense. The exhibit challenges traditional notions of movement and time, and redefines the idealisms of one’s roots and identity.

In Tejido’s “The Manifesto of Play,” the renowned Filipino artist invites viewers into a whimsical world. Through vibrant colors, dynamic forms, and a playful exploration of mediums, Tejido challenges conventional perceptions of art. From intricate illustrations to interactive installations, each piece encourages viewers to rediscover the joy of playfulness and imagination.

Lastly, on the other side of the gallery, Santoso presents “Solitude,” an exhibit that delves into the depths of human emotion, capturing moments of introspection and solitude. Through evocative compositions, he encourages viewers to contemplate the complexities of solitude—its beauty, its melancholy, and its power to provoke introspection.
These three exhibitions are on view until April 2, 2024, at Galerie Stephanie, located at the 6th Level East Wing of Shangri-la Plaza, Mandaluyong City.
