As the year unfolds, this month Agus Suwage unveils his work in his first US solo exhibition at Tyler Rollins Fine Art Gallery in New York.

Our good friends at Whiteboard Journal did an interview with him, you should check it out here.




"My inspiration comes from multiple sources. In the beginning stages of my career, everything was very personal. All my explorations revolved around religion, sociopolitical themes and humanitarian work. I am very attached to my work. Nowadays, I derive inspiration from my deep, sincere thoughts and personal questions. It is like personal therapy where I try to expand and build upon what comes across my mind. It is a method I follow to get away, reanalyze and think things through."



"Technically speaking, I enjoy process because of its unexpected quality. However, this also becomes somewhat of a challenge because of its ambiguous nature. It may be a difficult process or time consuming. I will never know until I give it a try, but that never stopped me from experimenting."
