Patrick Cruz (b. Manila, 1987) attended University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, and graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. He is currently a Masters candidate at University of Guelph for studio arts. In his most recent work, Cruz has produced a wide body of work that mainly revolves in the act of making. His subjects survey and exorcise the transformative catharsis brought by our cultural excess in the wake of spiritual industrialization.
