Primo Marella Gallery is pleased to share a recent profile of the artist Jigger Cruz by Trickie Lopla in Vogue Philippines.
The article highlights his bold, gestural approach to painting.
Known for transforming classical works through thick layers of pigment and dynamic textures, Cruz blends tradition with contemporary expression, creating pieces that are both violent and deeply personal.
The article also previews his upcoming exhibition, Hail Holy Eyes, at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, featuring over 50 paintings, sculptures, and a sound installation. Cruz continues to push the boundaries of his practice, exploring the tension between destruction and creation while maintaining a deeply authentic artistic voice.
It will be a unique opportunity to experience Jigger Cruz’s extraordinary artistic vision up close.
