What happens when colors are freed from the weight of meaning? When red no longer signals allegiance, black does not cast shadows of grief, and white sheds its burden of purity? Color Blind invites viewers to step into this uncharted space, a field where colors exist for themselves, not for the labels we attach to them.

In this group exhibition, ten artists—Izel Pilapil, Marlon Magbanua, Gari Lopez, Toybits Joaquin, Chai Soo, Fitz Herrera, Coeli Manese, Michael Pastorizo, Ian Fulgar, and Binong Javier—each bring a distinct language to the shared canvas of the show.

Their works span a wide artistic spectrum, from the architectural precision and generative designs of Ian Fulgar, the meditative abstractions shaped by rural and urban contrasts in Fitz Herrera, to the layered, life-worn colors of Binong Javier.

Here, each artist steps away from politics, religion, and ideology, not as an escape, but as an act of artistic clarity. The works resist the instinct to categorize. They ask you not to search for coded messages, but to experience color in its rawest form, unburdened, unassigned, and unafraid.

Together, these artists represent some of the most compelling voices in contemporary Philippine art, each with practices that continue to shape conversations both locally and abroad. Their works have steadily gained the attention of collectors, who value both the individuality of their practices and the strength of their collective vision. Color Blind stands as more than an exhibition—it is a statement, a gathering of works that collectors and audiences alike will look back on as a defining moment.

As you move through Color Blind, let the pieces meet you without pretense. Allow the brushstrokes, textures, and hues to speak before the mind names them. Sometimes, the clearest vision comes when we stop looking for meaning, when we simply see.
