Geraldine Javier: State of the Nations

In 2026, Silverlens New York will exhibit Geraldine Javier's complete body of work for the first time in the United States. The exhibition “State of the Nations” highlights an artistic practice deeply rooted in dialogue between the artist and her environment, notably through “eco-printing,” a complex artisanal technique involving printing plant motifs directly onto paper or fabric. Javier explores the fragility of Philippine ecosystems facing climate challenges and socio-political instabilities, translating this concern into vibrant color and diverse artworks. Her monumental polyptychs, evoking both mourning and aspiration, reflect a keen awareness of contemporary issues. The exhibition is an opportunity to discover an artist recognized for her ecological commitment and her ability to transform natural elements into powerful symbols. A poignant and urgent work, celebrating the fragile beauty of the world.
