Norse myths and legends come to vivid life in Jomike Tejido's 16th Solo exhibition aptly entitled 'Nordic Sky Worlds.' The artist lets his imagination take flight, and sweeps the audience into the worlds of Norse gods and goddesses, of great battles, and vast otherworldly landscapes. The whole exhibition is tied together by a masterfully crafted panoramic chronicle of the Nordic gods and the worlds they inhabit.
In the true spirit of collaboration the artist, also being an architect by profession, took inspiration from the physical space in which the exhibit is placed. He uses the multi-level structure of Art Lounge Manila-Molito to depict the structure of the nine realms of Nordic myth. In Nordic Mythology all nine realms are connected by Yggdrasil or the world tree, which in the exhibit is represented by a climb through a series of steps. Thus allowing the viewer to essentially walk the Bifrost a bridge that connects the mortal world to Asgard the realm of the gods.
