    A mirage of overlapping numbers and letters, this artwork is a visual maze for the viewer to navigate. Appropriately named Crossword, the artwork is a challenge that tempts viewers to identify and create words from the assemblage. Rather than depicting tangible words or forms, this artwork represents ideas and concepts that can be freely interpreted.

    Sam Penaso is an internationally respected visual and performance artist who has held over 30 solo exhibitions in the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, Austria, Germany, Singapore, the US and the UAE. He has been awarded art residencies in London, New York and Abu Dhabi. Straddling various artistic practices, his art often exemplifies the multi-media, crossdisciplinary nature of Filipino contemporary art.

    This lot is physically located in the Philippines.

    Prospective buyers should note they are responsible for the costs of transporting the lot from its current location to the buyer.
