Jer Dee doesn’t draw a hard line between mediums. His vector art is built for wonder — dense, vibrant, worldbuilding. His brushwork is built for empathy — gestural, immediate, trusting the hand. The exhibitions are where both meet.
Spectre is a gestural record of epiphanies, shaped by life events. Ink on paper, rhythmic, free-flowing, bold handwork. Visual suggestions rather than strict representations, asking the viewer to read brushstrokes as legible forms.
Thirty-six ink works and four journals, produced over two years, extended onto silk, watercolour paper, and prints.
Curated by Sachet Projects, Jer places his narrative in the hands of muscle memory, allowing his body to remember what his mind cannot.

Spectre, Gravity Art Space, Quezon City, Philippines
Pleasure is Jer Dee’s act of laying everything bare. Made during a stretch of absent intimacy — a quiet search for connection and touch — the show is a room full of figures mid-embrace, kissing, holding, reaching, caught in the gesture of being close to someone.
It is a deliberate stripping-away. The palette reduces to silver, lavender, and teal, drawn from the mother-of-pearl lacquerware of East Asian and Vietnamese traditions. Line work turns sparse, leaving only the details that matter.
On opening night, satin scarfs and silk fans glowed under black light as the crowd danced to sets by Papa Jawnz and Hideki: a room full of people holding his work as they held each other.

Pleasure, Futurist (Today x Future), Makati, Philippines
Tempest is the show that changed everything. During quarantine, living alone in Quezon City while his family remained in Pangasinan, Jer started documenting his dreams. They kept returning to the same place: home.
Leaning into ballpoint pen to render his visions, drawing on East Asian woodblock prints: explosive colour, a sense of worldbuilding, and a visual language that became entirely his own.
His first cohesive body of work — seven framed works, postcards, and sticker sets, all belonging to one visual universe. “Tempest taught me how to edit my work better.” What started as homesickness became the foundation of everything that followed.
