Artworks tackling the idea of impermanence made by local and foreign artists are currently on display at a new art gallery in Makati City. 

The exhibition, dubbed “Nothing Gold Can Stay” gathers artists whose practices explore a spectrum of forms, themes, and materiality. Exhibitors include Filipino photographer Mark Nicdao, modern and contemporary painters Lynyrd Paras and Jono Pisano, and 13 Lucky Monkeys.

The show, running until Jan. 31, also presents works by Indonesian artists Sinta Tantra, Dedy Sufriadi, and Ronald Apriyan, and Caryn Koh of Malaysia. 

Tantra, a London-based artist of Indonesian descent, is highly regarded for her public artworks including a 300-meter painted bridge commissioned for the 2012 Olympics in London. She usually merges art and architecture with patterns and color that mirror her Balinese heritage. 

Sufriadi, on the other hand, creates representational imagery using a variety of media on canvas that gives his works a jagged and multi-dimensional effect. Apriyan presents colorful artworks with easily recognizable images from pop culture, rendered in his unique style.
