Jan Balquin

Dealing with concepts of value, materiality, and banality, Jan Balquin (b. 1989, Philippines) works across different media ranging from paintings to collage. Exploring conventional notions of material and subject matter vis-a-vis unconventional imagery and simulacra, her recent paintings expand into sculptural forms that interrogate the qualities of the blank canvas as an object.

An alumna of the Philippine High School for the Arts, Balquin graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Philippines, Diliman.
