Jel Suarez
Jel Suarez's practice is anchored on collage as an act of excavation, beginning with a hunt for materials ripe with narrative.
BIOGRAPHY
Jel gathers fragments of their histories as a form of creative inquiry. In mining these collections and cutting parts of wholes, she considers chipping away time and releasing artifacts from older lives.
Suarez has been exhibiting her works since 2014, and has participated in art fairs in Manila (ALT Philippines 2020; Art Fair PH 2016-19), Hong Kong (Art Central HK 2017), and Singapore (AAF SG 2014). She was an artist-in-residence of Larga (Negros Occ, PH) in 2019, and at Rimbun Dahan (Selangor, MY) in 2017.
Her solo exhibitions with West Gallery (2018) and MO_Space Gallery (2019) were shortlisted for the Ateneo Art Awards, where she became the first recipient of it’s Italian Embassy’s Purchase Prize.
