Through painting, texture, and experimenting with various media, Lance explores new ways of expressing emotion – something he used to resist but now embraces. Colour is the creative spark illuminating his work, revealing his aesthetic sense and emotional depth.
Each piece in this collection portrays the artist’s emotion on the day they were created. Some are bright, some are dark. Some are heavy, some are light. These emotions coexist with one another and create a balance that can ultimately lead to bliss.
“Bliss in Disarray marks a turning point for me as an artist. This exhibition is an act of surrendering to my imagination and trusting my intuition - exploring the calm as well as the chaos. This collection is a reflection of my identity as an artist evolving in real time.”
Lance Jethro is a Filipino multidisciplinary artist working between Manila and Sydney. With a foundation in fashion that shapes his visual language and creative direction, his practice moves fluidly across paintings, illustrations, makeup, and photography. Drawing from personal narratives and cultural intersections, he creates works that explore textures, colours, and identity through experimentation and emotional tension.
Lance Jethro’s work embraces rawness, imbalance, softness, and juxtaposition, often leaning into the beauty of the unfinished. He is instinctively drawn to creating imperfections –– disrupting harmony to create pieces that feel more authentic to his artist self.
In 2025, Lance self-published his art zines titled Baby Doll and Gising, which were showcased at the Tokyo Art Book Fair, Other Worlds Zine Fair (Sydney), Parramatta Zine Fair, and Festival of the Photocopier (Melbourne). He is a member of the School of Zines collective where he runs hands-on zine workshops, combining his passion for art, fashion, and zines to facilitate creative expression through textile experimentation.
