𝐆𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐃, a solo exhibition by 𝐉𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐉𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐳 will open next week,
March 21 at 6pm! See you! ✨

An open curtain, a pair of wheels, a carabao and two figures dangling their limbs suggesting busy movements within a square space mimicking the stage of a lively puppet show. This is how Jelly Jimenez describes one of her paintings titled “Caravan.” A puppet show usually consists of a small, humble and often handmade stage. It shows complex stories of characters animated by people behind the curtains. You could relate this kind of dynamic to Jelly’s solo show “Gilid” which presents a reflection on her home, Pangasinan.

Jelly aptly titles her solo show “Gilid”, not only because of its exhibition at the edge of the gallery, but also because of its relevance to the location of Pangasinan, a province in the outskirts of northern Luzon. It is surrounded by big bodies of water, thus shaping its unique characteristics which Jelly depicts through her subject matter. She cohesively illustrates a ship and a caravan to signify their lasting culture in trade. Her juxtaposition of cattle with humans emphasizes their useful relationship with animals. A lot of her paintings are narratives of Pangasinan’s rich culture, but with that also comes along her works that echo the harsh living conditions that the province faces, like the constant flooding. The red and gloomy centerpiece expresses the dooming result of the corruption from the people in governance, doing only what the opposite of rescue is in times of calamity.

But despite the many shortcomings, Jelly also depicts an antidote. Along the unfortunate figures are the resilient ones. She paints a woman loyal to her dog, muddy footsteps from sturdy boots and a community still standing. These figures represent the dedicated people that live there. She also paints a portrait of the strong woman, Urduja, who serves as a popular symbol of courage in Pangasinan. These characters, the ones that most of us may often notice only in our peripherals, are the characters that Jelly aims to bring to the center of the stage.
