Olympus

- January 24 - February 7, 2023 •
- Unsheathing lore and adventure, “Olympus” depicts the ancient Greek deities through contemporary abstractions and explorations. His works represent the eminence of Greek mythology and their homes, narrated through acrylic and gold leaf canvases. The signature organic shapes of structured abstraction and balanced colors sprawl throughout Tejido’s works, merging his fascination with mystical fantasy and his affinity with architecture.

Notes On Surrender
- - Regina Reyes
- November 3 - 17, 2022 •
- Right in the height of the pandemic, artist Regina Reyes relocated to the city of Gensan, on the southernmost tip of the island of Mindanao. Her solo exhibition at Galerie Stephanie, Notes on Surrender, is the first since that move and confronts the two sides of dreams and realities and the crucial balance one must arrive at between the two. Featuring a collection of paintings, drawings and mixed media collages, her works in this exhibition are visual footnotes, declarations on the power of imperfection, an addendum on traversing the unknown and a love letter to art and its creation.

Sandali
- - Eugene Dominguez
- November 3 - 17, 2022 •
- While some rely on searching for creativity to be spurred in the far and wide, Eugene Dominguez takes his immediate surroundings as force and inspiration behind his paintings. In Sandali—one moment, a wait, a slight pause, to be still in a rush of motion—he once again explores the human figure occupying a intimate, domicile space where pause and rest is a hard-earned respite and an intermission in a life which rolls and toils unceasingly onward.

The Superhighway
- October 17 - November 1, 2022 •
- Defined as an extensive electronic network used for rapid transfer of information, ‘superhighway’ signals virulence and an ease in which exchanges are facilitated, the rise of which had been unprecedented in the last decade. “The Superhighway” presents a sober appraisal of elements based on the artists’ understanding of a life constantly blitzed by choice and possibility.

I Am Here
- - Hideo Tanaka
- October 1 - 15, 2022 •
- Hideo Tanaka’s hyper-realist works in “I Am Here” bring us to scenes that seem suspended in time. The images represent poetic settings where the difference between presence and absence measures existence. His paintings in the exhibition are depictions of silent and quiet quandaries in understanding internal struggles measured through the way the objects are rendered: their brokenness and oddness somehow still evoke feelings of being whole despite these peculiarities.

Scarlet Dreams
- - Keiko Yokoyama
- October 1 - 15, 2022 •
- Keiko Yokoyama’s Scarlet Dreams” leads us to settings where the dominance of the red color preludes the intensity of remembering the past. Her dramatic renderings of almost obsolete objects today bring us to a time when they were significant in our daily lives: a snail mail dropbox, a beetle-looking car, a manual sewing machine, and dolls that look like they have lived in another period. Using the color red alleviates the intensity of the longing for a time that is now gone but not forgotten.
