Patrick Fernandez: Mga Piraso mula sa Paraiso
(Pieces from Paradise)
July 1 - August 24, 2025
Patrick Fernandez is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in Regina, Saskatchewan. A native of Pangasinan, Philippines, his colourful paintings use symbolism and reimagined folklore imagery as a means of storytelling. His works are based on personal experiences that deal with displacement and adaptation, using circumstances as turning points for growth.
This exhibition of paintings explores a commonly held view or concept of newcomers that "fate brought us here" and the Filipino outlook of "bahala na" / "come what may". The works centre on concepts of fate while also exploring the hierarchy of contemporary society, one driven by accomplishments, results and evidence of success. The exhibition aims to finds parallels within cultures to create better understanding of each and everyone’s disposition in life. Fernandez elaborates on the concept of fate through storytelling using characters of reimagined folklore of his culture, patterns and juxtaposed imagery in order to give new meaning on how fate may lead us to self-discovery and freedom.
This exhibition is touring Saskatchewan through the OSAC “Arts on the Move” program.
