An intimate cosmology

Jep Dizon unveils the architecture of being in his 'Object's Nature, Nature's Object'

- By S. C. FOJAS

Artist Jep Dizon invites his viewers to slow down and contemplate the intricate dance between the material and the spiritual in “Object’s Nature, Nature’s Object.”

Currently on display at Art Cube Gallery, Jep’s collection of still life transcends mere representation, transforming everyday objects into resonant symbols that chronicle the very arc of human existence.

Stepping into the gallery, one is immediately enveloped in a sense of serene contemplation. Jep’s canvases, alive with surreal landscapes—clouds coiling like vaporous thoughts, light dilating in unexpected hues—serve as ethereal backdrops for meticulously rendered objects. A flower poised in a wine cup, a stoic marble bust, a watchful crow, a leisurely snail, a closed book—each element is a cipher, humming with symbolic charge and vibrating with the aftershocks of living.
