This work comes issued with a signed Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).
This collage pictures nostalgia from the perspective of a modern mind. Contemporary elements mix with vintage themes for contrast and to have a more imaginative sensibility. The intent is for the viewer to examine and interpret each memory presented, which also coincidentally, looks like a set of hotel key cards. It blends with how memories are constructed, which are more often than not, collages themselves. The past is never truly black and white. it's colored by those who experienced it, colored by how we inherit it, colored moment by moment rather than just being a dull and fixed point in time.
Born in Manila in 1988, Jo Aguilar studied Multimedia Arts at the De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. Her inspiration to create stems from her mother who used to put together collages and make oil paintings when she was a child. Aguilar currently works mainly as an art-based Associate Creative Director in an advertising firm. She enjoys collecting clippings from vintage advertisements and re-contextualizing them into fresh meanings and ideas. She has since mounted exhibits at Blanc Gallery and participated in Art In The Park. She started out with collage on paper, then eventually learned how to paint with oils during the pandemic.
