ABOUT THE WORK

Jeff Dizon is known for a markedly tropical lushness of detailing, so much so that his version of the Pieta would fit an imaginary biblical scenario as much as it would fit some corner in the Philippine countryside, with the presence of bamboo in the details. Dizon studied painting at the University of the Philippines. Over the course of his career, he has mounted numerous solo exhibitions. His artworks were also shown in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington D.C. Jeff's densely detailed art rendered in numerous colors — from earthy to glowing–depict Philippine rural social life with a modern expressionist style rendered in detailed strokes. Dizon’s Pieta version of the Pieta is both biblically and indigenously grounded. Dizon's work has been earning numerous awards from competitions, and one of its prominent collectors is Diners International. His works are known to capture themes from Philippine Social Life, with a modern expressionist style, rendered in detailed strokes.
