How Do You Say Goodbye?

Faye Pamintuan

Curated by Gwen Bautista and Sayoka Takemura

Presenting a series of works that explore painting, art book production, and literary collaboration, Faye Pamintuan commences a new period in her artistic career in her
solo exhibition, “How Do You Say Goodbye.” For the past eleven years, the artist has lived between Manila and Houston while constantly attempting to reconcile her grounding and confront the dilemma of belonging to the diaspora. Here, Pamintuan
tries deciphering patterns and codes that allude to life between two territories, cultures,
and everything else.

Faye Pamintuan (b. 1994) is a Filipino-American artist who was born in the Philippines and spent her formidable years in Texas, USA. Spending much of her life traveling between the two countries, Pamintuan’s practice is informed by her early introduction to Western abstraction while observing the landscapes, bodies of water, and environments of the two regions. Her works are inquiries that respond to probing into the sense of self through illustrated spaces, forms, and imagined terrains. Pamintuan received her BFA in Painting (magna cum laude) from the University of the Philippines, Diliman and is the co-founder of the printmaking studio, OVERINKED. In 2021, her works were featured in the Texas Biennial at the McNay Museum of Art . She had completed fellowships at the NYC Crit Club, The Canopy Program in New York and the Alternative Art School in Pennsylvania. Pamintuan will be featured in the exhibition, “Serial and Massively Parallel” for the next edition of S.E.A Focus in Singapore.
