Francis Commeyne

Francis Commeyne unerringly captures the erratic but no less interesting rhythm of city life in his paintings and mix media works. He casts scenes, places and objects under new light when he represents images imbued with a singular awareness of how it is to travel places and yet not exactly belong anywhere. Commeyne reimagines mundane objects through his artistic renditions of the ordinary, sharply interrogating the transference of value in everyday life situations to art world contexts. Commeyne has a degree in painting, and was college valedictorian at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. Business as Usual, his third solo exhibition in 2016 was at Tin-aw Art Gallery. He participated in several group exhibitions in local galleries and abroad.
