In a world that constantly demands urgency, “the art of being still” invites both artists and viewers to embrace Yutori—the Japanese philosophy of spaciousness, where one consciously slows down to create room for reflection, balance, and renewal.

Featuring works by Bea Aspiras, Andre Baldovino, Naomi Banal, Benjie Cabangis, Arley Carig, J Consunji, Allain Hablo, Niño Hernandez, Josef Laureano, Rico Lascano, Coeli Manese, Red Mansueto, Aaron Virata Mempin, Poch Naval, Enzo Peralta, Pey Raymond, Joel Reglos, Kristian Somera, and Vettina Villarica, the exhibition explores the quiet strength found in openness and stillness.

Through delicate washes of color, layered textures, fluid brushwork, and restrained compositions, these abstract works embody the essence of Yutori. Expansive canvases suggest a boundless calm, while subtle gradations of tone and negative space create moments of quiet contemplation. Some pieces embrace organic movement and imperfection, evoking a meditative flow, while others use deliberate simplicity to emphasize what is left unsaid. 

In this shared moment of Yutori, visitors are encouraged to rediscover the power of slowing down and the beauty that emerges in the spaces in between.
