Justiniani has achieved the dream of many artists, that of having his first solo exhibition back in 1987. He continues to be exhibited in various art venues.
His art pieces in the ongoing Venice Biennale’s 58th International Art Exhibition have received praises on different art sites. Collectively presented by curator Tessa Maria Guazon with the theme “Island Weather” the Filipino artist’s works refer to the “vernacular quip for the fleeting nature of power. It deepens artist Mark Justiniani’s investigation of vision and its role in the construction of truth.”
Mark Justiniani’s Venice exhibition at the Philippine Pavilion will run until November 24, 2019.
