On strange days and divine love

I show You how To Make Huge Profits In A Short Time With Cryptos!

Born in Angono, Rizal, Kim Hamilton Sulit was exposed in his childhood to art and his hometown’s rich cultural heritage. He decided early on to pursue his passions for making art and was a frequent art contest participant as a student, winning Honorable Mention for his works in the Shell National Students Art Competition and Finalist in the 2011 Metrobank Art and Design Excellence and Philippine Art Awards in 2022.

He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Painting from Far Eastern University, Manila. The talented artist’s practice explores a wide range of media, from drawing and painting to assemblage and object-making, often representing the traces between memories and experiences. He examines social and domestic conditions, expressing them in his works drawn from childhood encounters and human psychology. By using common imagery such as fire, birds and skulls, his pieces blur the boundaries of life and its uncertainty, giving viewers a sense of discomfort that leads to self-reflection.

Sulit recently had his 16th solo show at Pinto Art Museum. His exhibit “On Strange Days and Divine Love” talks about the human psyche and how we comprehend and take up the challenge and changes that fall upon us. He says, “Here, the works show some glimpse of our momentary awareness that leads to questioning the intervention of God in our daily lives, fragments of time and memories in which we became vulnerable. Pain, failure, love and death… is it a test to grow our belief in God and ask for salvation? Or it’s the things that drive us further away from our faith.”

After he made some of the works for this show, he came across the poem “The Guest House” by Jalaluddin Rumi and found it significant enough to have that as a takeoff point for more ideas for the show.

The artist adds that his “Broken Soul and Burning Sensation” series has portraits depicting an exaggerated and dramatic version of everyday life. His work with nails as the subject represents a severe headache, while the work showing a head with a snake depicts temptation and desire.

Sulit has exhibited in a lot of major galleries in Manila and I am certain we will see more of his fascinating and metaphorical works as demand for his pieces increase.
