Excerpt from the exhibition notes:
'In 'The Clear Light', Pardo de Leon, Jet Melencio and Jed Escueta let go of preconceived notions about art and other delusions, evoking an emptiness and reduction of both form and process. The title signifies a clarity one achieves with advanced meditation or death, when the mind is cleared of everything and becomes one with the primordial universe. The exhibition addresses the current muddled state of contemporary painting and photography, suggesting a way out and the possibility of transcendence.

The works in this exhibition all share the same path. They strip art of its artifice and forego all its pretensions, retaining only what is necessary and essential to the form. They reveal a heightened awareness of the inter-relatedness of separate materials and objects, a way of seeing beyond veneers and false perceptions that mark conventional art and thinking. These works, in their simplicity, rawness and honesty, employ an economy of means to express what is eternal, and in the process, become illuminated.'
