Jon Poblador (b. 1971, Quezon City, Philippines) is a Filipino American contemporary painter. He received a B.F.A. from Northern Illinois University and an M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Best known for his minimalist works characterized by monochrome palettes, repetition, and meticulous mark-making, Poblador’s practice has evolved from densely packed lines and text-based compositions to dots and geometric forms, before settling on the color grids he primarily produces today. Each work is built through an accumulation of devotional acts, with thin layers of acrylic applied section by section. Every brushstroke functions as a kind of silent prayer, deliberate and sustained over time. Through his practice, he explores the accumulation of time and attention while inviting viewers into a different mode of perception, encouraging a slower, more attentive way of seeing. Poblador currently lives and works in Hong Kong and is active in the contemporary art scenes both locally and in the United States. He has held several solo exhibitions across both regions, including at Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia and Galerie Koo in Hong Kong.
