“In Measured by Images, artists Pardo de Leon and Bernardo Pacquing expand each other’s artistic discourse on painting and the painted image. To ‘measure,’ in common use, is to consider the ‘dimensions, quantity, and capacity’ using a standard and ‘a reference used for the quantitative comparison of properties.’ ‘Image,’ here, most likely refers to images as materials gathered from the immediate bubble of the artist-of-interest, and manipulated in a particular way accordingly. Each artist’s own use of their images sheds insightful dialogue in varying aspects, especially now with the constant emphasis on the visual image as a vital tool in transacting information and knowledge.”
