Magical / Realism

The Frank Ratchye Project Space is pleased to present Magical / Realism, a group exhibition featuring Root Division Studio Artists: B. Colleen, Edy Cahueque, Itzél Rios-Ellis, Leticia Javier, and Wally A. Corona, curated by PJ Gubatina Policarpio.

Blurring the boundaries between reality and the extraordinary, the works in this presentation integrate uncanny, dreamlike, and sometimes unsettling visions rooted in contemporary life. Informed by political anxieties and personal tragedies, these images reflect a flexible consciousness where the strange, supernatural, and surreal are used to examine social issues such as labor, migration, ecological crisis, power and agency. These artists turn to symbolism and fantasy not as a means to move away from the reality of everyday life but as a way to engage with it more fully and vividly.

Biological

The Frank Ratchye Project Space is pleased to present Biological, a solo exhibition by Root Division Studio Artist Jasper Wilde.

In this new and on-going body of work, Wilde presents a series of stark, desolate landscapes that collapse the boundary between external terrain and internal experience. Varying in both media and degrees of abstraction, each painting feels less like a representation of place and more like a psychic topography: visual records of physical and emotional distance, battles for self-preservation, and the negotiation of familial estrangement.
