About the Artist:
Patrick Cruz is an artist and educator who considers the role of spirituality, improvisation, intuition and play as emancipatory tools to reify embedded colonial frameworks and ideologies in art making. Cruz employs meditation, divination, and hypnosis as research methodologies to exhume and retrieve hidden knowledge. His works are informed by the intersections of clown philosophy, magic, and the occult, and its syncretic manifestations and relationship in contemporary life. Most recently, Cruz has been making works using material retrieved from past-life regressions to navigate and side-step cultural and ancestral identity. He received the Thirteen Artist Award in 2021 from the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the 17th RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2015. He is co-director of the Kamias Triennial with Su-Ying Lee and Karie Liao, a collaborator at Boring Earth with Laila Fox, a member of Ben Flores Fan Club Collective with Christian Vistan, and a member of the Plumb.
