Kristone Capistrano is a Filipino-Australian artist working across traditional and experimental drawing. His practice explores mortality, transience and contemporary figuration, visualising paper as a metaphor for skin and mark-making as a form of human touch: a vehicle for generosity and care.

In a world of increasing AI and automation, Capistrano creates works that are decisively tactile, handmade and analogue. The death of his grandmother led him to use Filipino brooms and household tools as alternative instruments for drawing—an homage that unites mark-making, sweeping and erasure with shared memories of labour, sacrifice and hospitality embedded within the Filipino imagination.

Capistrano has exhibited in Australia and Asia, and has undertaken residencies at Bundanon Art Museum, Emerging Islands (Philippines), Tong Lau Space (HK) and the Sheen Center (NYC). Commissions include Movement Study: The Bridge, Kingston Arts (2025), 101 Graham Street, PHIVE, City of Parramatta (2022), and forthcoming permanent public artworks for the new Bradfield Station (Western Sydney Airport line), set to open in mid-2027. Upcoming projects include a solo exhibition at Firstdraft Gallery, Sydney (June), live drawing performances at the Vargas Museum, Philippines (July), and a solo presentation at Art Cube Gallery, Manila (August).

Rel Pham is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist known for a strong use of electric, vibrant colours and a penchant for surrealism. Drawing upon old world fables and rituals for thematic inspiration, Pham explores the interconnected nature of our current physical and digital realities through screen-based video, animation and installation.
