HAIL HOLY EYES | JIGGER CRUZ
GROUNDSPACE, 2/F NORTH AND SOUTH GALLERIES
19 NOVEMBER 2025 - 01 MARCH 2026
Hail Holy Eyes traces the evolution of Jigger Cruz—one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Philippine art. Featuring over a hundred artworks from 2007 to the present, the exhibition offers an overwhelming encounter with Cruz’s charged, visceral practice.
Renowned for his thick, textured surfaces and vibrant clashes of color and found imagery, Cruz blurs the lines between abstraction and figuration. In ‘Hail Holy Eyes’, these works unite into a comprehensive environment—an overwhelming expanse of pigment, emotion, and wonder.
Curated by Norman Crisologo.
