About Us
Pablo’s original gallery is located at the famed Cubao X area (also known as Marikina Shoe Expo) and was founded on September 16, 2005. Its owners envisioned a space where the works of talented young artists could be showcased. The gallery has caught the attention of critics, older artists, members of academe, art collectors, and other gallerists. Today, Pablo Cubao X has also presented exhibitions by established artists like Romeo Lee, Poklong Anading, Neil Fettling, MM Yu, Bea Camacho, and Jason Moss. Among the young and upcoming artists to watch for and who have exhibited at the gallery are Mark Salvatus, who has been nominated at the recent Ateneo Art Awards and recipient of several international grants; Nelz Yumul; CJ Tanedo; and James Almario.
The new Pablo Fort is situated at an ideal location. Besides its accessibility to the Makati business district, Fort Bonifacio is also evolving as a hub for the modern arts. One only has to consider the small galleries sprouting in the area as well as view its interesting outdoor art installations spread all over the place.
Pablo Cubao X will continue being a steppingstone for young artists to break into the bigger, commercial galleries. Pablo Fort, on the other hand, will be working with older, mid-career, or more established artists as well as under-recognized older artists.
