Jonathan Ching (b. 1969)
Est: ₱200,000 - ₱260,000
Untitled signed and dated 2011 (lower right) oil on canvas 60" x 72" (152 cm x 183 cm) Creating a scene that quietly unsettles the longer you gaze at it, Jonathan Ching's turbulent, energetic masterpiece features a group of women seemingly submerged underwater, moving in a loose, unsynchronized rhythm—creating a restless, oppressive atmosphere. With heavy, textured brushstrokes that seem to magnify the piece's restlessness and oppressiveness, one detail that further pushes the unsettling tone is that all women wore tight corsets, which are typically tied to symbolism of control, beauty standards, and restriction. This creates a tension between elements of grace and discomfort. The women seemingly try to pose their bodies while underwater, while their clothes and situation feel terrifying and restricting. This contradiction continues to invite the viewer to question whether the painting scene is either harmony or quiet suffocation. Overall, the painting feels like a metaphor for existing within social expectations. Jonathan Ching let repetition, omission, and atmosphere deliver his piece—haunting, constrained, and hypnotic.

Jonathan Ching (b.1969)
Est: ₱200,000 - ₱260,000
No Hearing or Breathing, No Movements, No Color signed and dated 2014 (lower right) oil on canvas 48" x 60" (122 cm x 152 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot PROVENANCE Tin-Aw Art Gallery Since his first solo exhibition in 2008 at West Gallery, Ching has exhibited widely in both solo and group presentations in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. His works are marked by a quiet intensity and an attentiveness to spaces that are at once familiar and subtly estranged. Drawing from everyday interiors, personal memory, and imagined scenarios, Ching constructs scenes that invite prolonged looking, where narrative is suggested but never fully resolved, allowing mood and atmosphere to carry the emotional weight of the image. In the present work, Ching depicts an intimate domestic interior divided across two panels, as if glimpsed in fragments or through shifting recollection. A piano and empty chair occupy one side, while on the other, a seated figure cradles a bouquet, flanked by soft drapery and scattered birds on the floor. The meticulous, almost pointillist handling of paint lends the scene a hushed stillness, heightening its sense of quiet suspension. Light filters gently through the space, softening edges and blurring distinctions between presence and absence, action and pause. The split composition subtly disrupts continuity, suggesting emotional distance or the passage of time, while the carefully arranged objects—musical instruments, flowers, curtains, birds—function as quiet symbols of longing, tenderness, and fragile calm. Through this restrained yet evocative tableau, Ching transforms a seemingly ordinary interior into a contemplative meditation on solitude, memory, and the quiet dramas that unfold within private spaces.

Est: ₱200,000 - ₱260,000
Jonathan Ching (b. 1969) Scaling Olympus signed and dated 2012 (lower right) mixed media PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF A DISTINGUISHED COUPLE In this work, Jonathan Ching continues his series of incorporating everyday objects within his paintings, a device he used extensively. Known for his use of multiple references and subtle allusions, Jonathan Ching’s works present visual cues and symbols for the viewer to decode. An interesting feature of his paintings is his incorporation of everyday objects. Ching further experiments with composite media by incorporating assemblages of curious images amid thick strokes and globs of paint pointing to connections between seemingly disparate realities and contexts. His often surreal representations combine seemingly incongruent images, utilized to intentionally alter one’s perception and reception of the things represented. A graduate of University of the Philippines – Diliman, Ching found his passion for painting after graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering. He then went back to the university in order to take up formal training under the school’s Fine Arts and Visual Communication program. After solidifying his name as a rising star in the local contemporary scene, Ching would help establish the pioneering artist-run space named Surrounded By Water together with other artists such as Wire Tuazon, Geraldine Javier, Cristina Dy, and Louie Cordero. Ching has exhibited extensively since his first solo exhibition in 2008 at West Gallery. His works were shown in several solo and group exhibitions in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Estimate in USD $4000-$5200
