Sounds Like Home Art by Jay Ticar and Amy Aragon

In their recent exhibit at Galleria Duemila, Jay Ticar and Amy Aragon works on paintings that connect to the visual roots of sound art. The Vancouver-based artist couple articulates their response to this global interest through painterly abstractions and their ongoing theme home.

Informed by ideas obtained through the 2017 Asia Center Fellowship held in 3 countries, the artists devised a creative structure that proposes a conversation on the non-musical aspect of sound art. They constructed house-like architectural models that are processed through the ideas of fragmentation and painting. This is to relate to abstraction and conceptualism as sound and art fundamentals.

Jay Ticar and Amy Aragon has been exhibiting individually and as a tandem in respective venues and events of art here and abroad. After the University of the Philippines, Jay finished MFA at Tama Art University in Tokyo as Monbukagakusho scholar and Amy finished her post graduate program at Seneca College in Toronto. The couple is a combination of individual citations for their artistic practice. This includes being featured in publications, being Ateneo Art Awards finalists, and being recipient of Asian Public Intellectual Fellowship Awards to name a few.

Sounds Like Home will run from October 13 to November 3 at Galleria Duemila, 210 Loring St., 1300 Pasay City.
