Joselito Macapagal, “Making Churros,” 2020

The Joy of Seeing presents a selection of realistic and semi-abstract watercolour, oil, and acrylic paintings created between 2020 and 2022 by Richmond-based Filipino-Canadian artist Joselito Macapagal. His work captures fleeting yet memorable moments from his everyday life and travels: the bustling produce aisle in a local market, pre-storm clouds at Macdonald Beach, the distinctive nipa hut in the Philippines, and a steaming churro cart in Mexico. Using painting as a form of mediation and storytelling, Macapagal invites the audience into a world where he shares his joy of translating the colours, textures, lines, and shapes of such scenes in his paintings.
