Steph Lopez is a Philippine visual artist who specializes in
sculpture, using wire-art as her primary medium. With nine solo exhibits
already under her belt, she will be having her first ever “all-jewelry”
installation at the Boston Gallery in Cubao, Quezon City.
As a child Steph grew up enthralled by her grandmother’s
stories about her life. Being born under an era where the Philippines was
transitioning from four hundred years of Spanish colonization, to being
purchased by an emerging United States, to being thrown in the midst of World
War II under Japanese occupation; you can say that their generation is truly
the first of Filipino society as we know it today.
Entitled “Heirlooms”, Steph’s upcoming exhibit is a tribute
to her grandmother’s life and legacy. Her pieces are an interpretation of her
grandmother’s stories. Stories filled with love and life; and the journey of a
woman in a time and place that is singular in Philippine history.
Keeping it real. - PJV
