Notes

“As an artist I have been privileged to have the opportunity to play with technology and find out what works for me. Sometimes it fails sometimes it succeeds. It is through play that I am able to find the next step in creating my images and pushing the boundaries of art creation.” This is how artist, Jill Paz describes her thought process when it comes to her art works. Interestingly enough, despite her strong sense of process orientation, her works are grounded on historical figures simply because she is descended from no less than Félix Resurrección Hidalgo. As a matter of consequence, Las Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas al Populacho is almost de rigueur in her story. In Untitled (After Hidalgo, Las Virgenes), 2018 she takes said image by her great-granduncle and uses technology, epson ink jet printing to create this piece. As a young child, she remembers seeing this piece from a book about Hidalgo in the family library. She goes back to this book and began wondering how far can she take this mere thumbnail image and blow it up losing as little as possible its clarity. And in this one image, Raymundo synthesizes everything that she has held fascination for in her art - contraction and expansion. First is the idea of “playing” with technology. After photographing the work, she proceeds to manipulate it on her computer; which has almost replaced the paint and brush in this day and age; and at the risk of making it sound too simplistic, comes up with this mural image of her ancestor’s masterpiece. It now makes the original work of his great-granduncle—the thumbnail image! Then there’s the matter of history. Indeed we are our history, and to use such an iconic painting by no less than a descendant, ascribes a different layer of personal attachment to the work. It almost feels like a continuation of Hidalgo in the 21st century. And thirdly, in terms of art history, it is like digitizing Roy Lichtenstein. If he painted the round pixels of the comic strips, Jill has taken the idea to this century and has adopted the available technology in creating her piece but with the same sensibility of how these minute dots can make up an image. Jill Paz was born in Manila, Philippines, in 1982 and emigrated to the United States with her family in 1983. She studied art history at the University of British Columbia and attended an independent studio residency at Parsons School of Design, before pursuing a Master’s degree at the Columbus College of Art and Design. In 2015, Paz exhibited at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. Subsequently, she has had exhibitions at the Columbus Museum of Art and the Beeler Gallery in Columbus Ohio, as well as the Alte Feuerwache Loschwtiz in Dresden,Germany, where she was a visiting artist at Kunsthaus Raskolnikow and Geh8.
