It is not uncommon for architectural facilities to include a solarium–a small window to the natural world in otherwise clinical spaces. In the glass-encased room, the warmth and radiance of sunlight filters in, and one can feel as close to the outdoors as possible without actually being there.

In the same vein, Solarium is a group exhibition that brings together Bayani Galera, HALA MÆN, Sam Feleo, Anjo Joaquin, Gianne Encarnacion, Jonathan Benitez, Rick Hernandez, Tammy De Roca, Brisa Amir, Nile Pobadora, Maicah Hipolito, and Anina Rubio–a selection of
accomplished artists inspired by nature.

Their work offers a facsimile of the different aspects of the biosphere that evoke feelings of calm and tranquility, as well as a sense of admiration and respect for all that surrounds us.

Thanks to the vast, vast wealth of inspiring phenomena, the exploration of nature in the exhibit takes on endless,
uniquely imaginative forms.

Anina Rubio’s botanical studies speak to her background as an environmental advocate who seeks to depict nature’s beauty and inspire others to engage in conservation and sustainability efforts. Rick Hernandez’s Du Jardin distressed vegetal silhouettes offer a glimpse into the small urban garden that he tends to on his rooftop.

The plant life rendered in Gianne Encarnation’s ornate, decorative pieces are inspired by pattern-work, embroidery, and the grid structure of pixel games. While Sam Feleo and Anjo Joaquin’s creative approach emphasizes our interconnection with plants and the give and take relationship humans have with nature.

This is but a sampling of the myriad perspectives the exhibit offers. Together, these artists provide a glimpse of the outside world and a mirror with which to examine ourselves and our relationship with the world.
