What if time comes when air becomes so polluted with virus that we have to roam about wearing protective masks? A portrait diptych of my wife and me, with face mask. Done in 2018- maybe unconsciously- I predicted the covid-19 somewhat. The subject is ever relevant especially now amid the present pandemic, as control of the spread of the deadly virus (symbolised by the grid lines), is everyone’s concern. The grids symbolize "limits" that humans should acknowledge in dealing with nature, for it is the imbalance of nature that is the root cause of diseases. Or maybe the "logical condition" of things to reconsider amid the global pandemic. Or the grids might stand for "symmetry" underlying the laws of Nature.

The vision and concept that inform Edwin Jumalon’s art practice is not the depiction of nature or the linear recording of life experiences. Rather, it is finding the way of shaping incidental narratives through recontextualization of imageries. His liking for synthesis is the factor that makes his art come to light- that which adds up to permitting free rein to the imagination. Eliciting nonrational, divergent, “accidental” messages to unfold in the process, Jumalon’s subject takes place during the act of painting. He juxtaposes images from memory, photographs, nature, and drawings - not of nostalgia, but of spatial play, building up the work and inventing the subject matter. He aims for the composition to be holistic- not to reconstruct sentiments or to rescue memories but to present as effect of the spontaneous excursion with perception. Jumalon lets out unintended narratives to emerge in his paintings...narratives that evoke, rather than describe.
