• Frederick Epistola is a compulsive but ingenious visual artist who has a proclivity to disregard traditional doctrines of art. A cosmopolitan, and influenced by early German expressionist painters, as well as, by the American abstract expressionist movement in the 1950s as exemplified by works of Wilhelm De Kooning and Jackson Pollock, his art is an abandonment of traditional ideas of composition, expressing a desire to liberate while at the same time restraining the imagery within the confines of a given space. Not letting his dyslexia hold him back, Epistola concentrated on perfecting his strokes and technique, thus projecting a mastery of both intuition and control in his artworks.

Epistola’s work is a product of vision, emotion, thoughts and juxtaposition of object, color and texture, all of which dwell on the remarkable consistent themes of existence and universality; on two persistent subjects: life and emotions; and on certain moods: concealing and revealing. By integrating spontaneous imagery with philosophies and confining them into small frames and spaces, Epistola leads viewers to look closely and become sensually involved in the artwork’s textures and colors.

In 2006, two of his works were included in the permanent collection of the prestigious International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction based in Texas, USA. In 2008, his work has been featured in the Limited Edition Art Calendar of the Painters for Human Rights which was distributed internationally. He is the first Asian to achieve such feats. Known to be a social artist, Epistola’s works can also be found in the collection of the Painters for Human Rights in Florida, USA and Union of Young Peace builders based in Switzerland. In 2010, his work “ After the Rubble“ which formed part of the Doodle for Haiti exhibit was auctioned off at the Accademia dello Scarabocchio in Matera, Italy to raise funds for the Haiti flood victims.

Experimenting continually, Epistola in 2007 tried his hand at other materials, primarily steel and stone, and created his very first collection of metal sculptures. Calling himself a “socio- realist” sculptor, Epistola does not focus on appearances, which tells of his sculptures not depicting people and events but showing ideas and emotions. At their best, his works brim with movement and tension—all representations of man’s interaction with society and his struggle with everyday life. Using heat and taking advantage of the metal’s malleability, Epistola tries to bring out the personality, emotion and inner essence of a particular subject in his sculptures.

Sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia in 2008, Epistola successfully held a one-man show entitled Global Compact: Helping Improve Lives through a Fusion of Art and Technology at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center-Malaysia. He is currently preparing for a second run of the Global Compact exhibit with Mercedes-Benz Club Philippines this December 2010.
