Mark Czar Espenilla‘s solo exhibition “Pulling Strings” unveils a captivating world woven from threads and imagination. Drawing inspiration from the tactile qualities of various colored threads, Espenilla spins tales and creates intricate images through his unique art form.

Rather than traditional paint mediums, Espenilla deftly crafts his pieces using threads sourced from cotton and other plants. As his hands deftly manipulate the hues, lines and dots emerge, shaping the canvas with an enchanting interplay of color and texture. The threads are meticulously pinned around nails and other points, gradually forming majestic figures.

In this captivating fusion of craft and creation, Espenilla challenges the boundaries between art and artisanry. His works, exhibited in notable galleries across Metro Manila, including Altro Mondo, Art Show Philippines, and The Grey Space, showcase his mastery of thread art, blurring the line between craft and creation. His art is a testament to the power of imagination and skilled hands.

Pulling Strings beckons viewers to examine the intricate threads that bring these vibrant creations to life. Espenilla’s artistry invites us to appreciate the fusion of art and craftsmanship, inviting us into a world where imagination and skilled hands intertwine to create compelling visual narratives.
