"The rice terraces of Northern Philippines
are known for the meticulous and painstaking
process it took to build them.
When I paint, I adopt the same virtue of
patience in my work. I can only hope the
impact of the rice terraces as a grand cultural
monument would be the same impact
I will make in art through my paintings."
-JEF CABLOG

This 2024, Art Lounge Manila presents “The Muse” from the eyes of accomplished artists Carlo Magno, Jef Cablog, Juanito Torres, and CJ Tañedo. All four artists have distinct and highly developed artistic practices that have invariably invoked the female form as a consistent subject in their decades-long careers. In doing so, Art Lounge Manila hopes to capture both the attention and imagination of the public of Art Fair Philippines and enrich their experience of the fair as well as of Philippine Contemporary Art.
Catch their representation of the Muse at Booth 39, 6th Floor, Art Fair Philippines 2024, The Link, Ayala Center, Makati City from February 16-18.
LIMITED EDITION GICLÉE PRINTS (effective January 2024)
Due to increasing number of inquiries and demand, I am releasing limited edition giclée prints of my selected oil paintings (dated 2016 onwards) printed on Hahnemühle Canvas Artist (340 gsm, Poly-cotton mix fabric, natural white) to ensure the highest quality of prints, longevity (100 years or more) and archivability. Printed by a highly specialized, Tecco and Hahnemühle Certified print studio.
Hahnemühle Canvas Artist is a matt-coated inkjet canvas made from mixed polyester-cotton fabric. The natural white canvas does not contain any optical brighteners and has a coarse canvas texture that accentuates its artistic character and lends the surface a certain three-dimensional quality and feel. In combination with the premium matt inkjet coating, it produces exceptional print results with excellent reproduction of colour and detail, deep blacks and outstanding contrasts. Canvas Artist is acid- and lignin-free, fulfils the most exacting requirements in terms of age resistance and is perfect for producing high-quality FineArt reproductions. Thanks to the material elasticity, the canvas is very well-suited for mounting on canvas stretcher frames.
Every purchase allows me to continue making more art. I appreciate your support, it means a lot in my artistic journey. All the best!
