Excerpts of Imagination | Louis De Guzman

" "

On view May 23 - June 21, 2026

Opening Reception Sunday, May 31, 1-4 pm

Louis De Guzman (b. 1989) is a Filipino-American award-winning visual artist and designer who creates artwork that merges his past with his present. Over the last decade, De Guzman has proved himself as a true multidisciplinary artist by blending both traditional and experimental techniques in his work. His signature geometric abstraction style often blends together images and stories that represent his family's immigrant journey, as well as his own experience as a second-generation Filipino American. De Guzman's career has led him to create well-received original bodies of work as well as interpretations of licensed intellectual property.

“The idea for this exhibition stems from the sentiment that as individuals, we all carry ideas within our core memories. I wanted to share visual anecdotes—specifically from our studio—for attendees to walk into a space to get a glimpse into ambience that the team and I are surrounded by each and every day. Each piece carries over a story, a memory, and a notch in the timeline from where it all started, where it’s been, and where it’ll all ultimately lead.”
