Cut & Curated: Seeing is to Feeling as It is to Believing

There are a lot of ways to which your beliefs may be challenged. A lot of people attribute it to seeing as in the popular saying, "To see is to believe." Yet others think otherwise: "To believe is to see." In this edition of Cut & Curated, we take seeing into a gratification of senses through patterns and textures.

Mark Andy Garcia's paintings are filled not only with textures but a narrative that is warm and comforting. Through his works, Garcia has found a stillness that allows him to make more mature decisions, especially when dealing with tough situations.

In Tsong Pu's Great Desire we find a geometric pattern that is not devoid of emotions that is stripped of usual contemporary abstraction. The artist goes beyond the mainstream and adds a bit of a poetic sense to his creations.

Meanwhile, Kanchana Gupta shares a meta-narrative of her living conditions in an urban environment. Through different processes of compression and compilation, the artist creates a commentary on the unparalleled aftermath of migration, urbanization, and globalization through everyday objects.
