Silver Eye Center for Photography—Ryan Frigillana, Tears, Blood, Sweat

Solo exhibition

August 27 – November 7, 2026

How do memory, images, and systems of belief shape lived experience and a sense of belonging?

These questions unfold throughout Tears, Blood, Sweat, in which Ryan Frigillana reconsiders the American Dream through intertwined histories of land, labor, and citizenship. Drawing on his experience as a first-generation Filipino American, he traces connections between his family’s past and present.

Frigillana works across multiple visual strategies in the exhibition. These include contemporary photographs that incorporate still-life compositions and collages, reworked biblical illustrations, appropriated news imagery, and intimate observations of family and place.

Together, these approaches challenge fixed narratives of migration, showing how histories, memories, and evolving ideas of faith and country shape belonging amid changing political realities.

Light Work—Arcanite Pictures: Oracle in the Aperture

Group exhibition curated by Brian Van Lau

March 22 – May 22, 2026

Arcanite Pictures was started to highlight emerging artists, emphasizing the personal narrative angle and diaristic storytelling in photography. Through online features and group shows, a library of small personal projects began to build, and, excitingly, as more people were invited to share their work, a lineage and an echoing formed, discoveries were made, and the distance between people diminished as a web of connections was established. The pictures shared constituted a language, and a portal to the various practices now joined across different cities, subcultures, and decades-old archives. For Oracle in the Aperture, artists were selected to join with peers, personal influences, and emerging lens-based artists to amplify and enhance each other’s stories, emphasizing interpersonal and private relationships and the talismanic ability of photography to illuminate familial and gestural scenes.

PHROOM—Ryan Frigillana, PATMOS

Portfolio feature

November, 2025

“Around the 2020 and 2024 U.S. presidential elections, I felt exhausted yet spellbound by the flood of media coverage. Compelled by a sense of dread and restlessness, I photographed the stream of images on my screen.”

PhotoBook Journal—Ryan Frigillana – PATMOS

Book review by Gerhard Clausing

October, 2025

Ultimately, PATMOS represents both a warning and a prayer. In a world where apocalypse is a nightly broadcast, in a cathedral of spectacle, what revelations remain unseen? Frigillana’s answer is neither despair nor redemption, but clarity – a momentary recognition of the illusions confronting us. In its intensity and invention, PATMOS deserves a special place among the most urgent photobooks of recent years, a testament to the power of photography – not just to record, but to evoke and let you judge for yourself. PATMOS invites a reshuffling, a fresh interpretation, to rediscover fundamental meanings in all that digital noise.

Baltimore Beat—HOME IS A MEMORY

Exhibition review of “What They Left Us” by Rejjia Camphor

July 15, 2025

“Walters also gave me some insight into some of the works of other artists’ who weren’t at the opening. She told me about Ryan Frigillana, whose archival photographs “Pamana” and “The Home They Built” (2022) both display a family portrait of a man and woman holding hands in front of a building with multiple sack bags behind them. Rice — which scattered grains of are depicted lying across a scrapbook page in a binder in “Pamana” — played a huge role in supporting Frigillana’s family and education. “The Home They Built” showcases a house of red-patterned playing cards stacked into a pyramid atop of a red-and-white checkered tablecloth. What makes this piece clever is that one of the base cards has been replaced by the family photograph, speaking to how ancestral labor and presence were foundational in the artist’s present-day success. It echoes not only legacy, but the quiet balancing act of care and memory.”

Houston Center for Photography—Pandemic Made

Group exhibition curated by Anne Massoni

April 10 – June 1, 2025

Featuring work from Christopher Lowell, Sandra Klein, Brad Ogbonna, Ryan Frigillana, and Safi Alia Shabaik.

An artist's drive to create is extraordinary and necessary—like oxygen. As the pandemic stifled breath from the bodies of so many, it also created chasmic shifts in the way creatives practiced their work. 

It has been five years since the global covid pandemic impacted our lives. Pandemic Made departs from the artist’s prerogative to reconsider their practice during that time of isolation and uncertainty, to seize the paradoxical privilege of being untethered to daily commutes and business as usual, and instead compelled by a different kind of sameness and routine. While all the works in this exhibition were born out of covid and conceptually touch on the pandemic, it is just as much about the artist’s compulsion to create—even in the most extreme of times, especially in the most extreme of times. This exhibition exalts the creative’s relentless need to share their unique sensibilities, invest in their artistic practice, and respond to the calling of their muses in spite of—and in response to—the reality surrounding them. 

Portland Monthly—Photos of the Filipinx Diaspora, Then and Now

Manong exhibition review by Matthew Trueherz

October 10, 2024

“My mother used the camera to memorialize and affirm her faith in the American Dream,” Ryan Frigillana writes in the press release for Manong, his photo show currently at Blue Sky Gallery (through November 2). Hazy traces of memorial show up in Frigillana’s images, too. They’re quite literally in dialogue with his mother’s photos; some of the most affecting pictures are in fact photos of her photos, a juxtaposition that casts an unmissable sense of inheritance over the show.

Blue Sky Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts—Ryan Frigillana, Manong

Solo exhibition

October 3 – November 2, 2024

“Contemplating the legacy of Filipinx migration to the United States, Manong explores family, faith, and loss in the diaspora as centered on the life and experiences of my ailing mother.” 

VOSTOK Magazine, vol. 44

Photo book

2024

VOSTOK is a South Korean photography magazine. Each issue features a sharp theme, traversing the boundary between fresh, innovative photography and excellent literature. The theme of Vol. 44, published in March 2024, is "The Mood of Black and White Photography." It delves into a world that can only be visualized in black and white, not color. The crucial difference between color and black and white photography is not simply the presence or absence of color, but the perspective and sensibility of the photographer who is intimately familiar with the characteristics of each medium. In the works of photographers who delicately handle light and shadow in the realm of black and white, certain moments that cannot be perceived in color, certain scenes that are overlooked in the real world, are captivatingly revealed before us.

Der Greif—Guest Room, Poetics of Counter-Archives

Online group exhibition curated by Nadine Henrich & William Camargo

January 31, 2024

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Nadine Isabelle Henrich, Curator of the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, has decided to team up with photo-based artist and founder of Latinx Diaspora Archives, William Camargo. Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: “Poetics of Counter-Archives”.

"We introduce 'Poetics of Counter-Archives' as our conceptual framework, inviting you to explore images, visual constellations, networks, communities, spaces, dialogues, archives, and photographic kinship for transcending conventional representation. Which images exist in the shadows of algorithmic visibility? What images are not part of the visual history of your home? How can we construct counterarchives as a form of resistance against hegemonic structures within the realm of photographic history? What images are you longing to encounter, and what images do you imagine with your eyes closed? What are the poetics of your counter-archive?"

NYC Photo Community—Ryan Frigillana

Interview with James Prochnik

2022

I first came across Ryan Frigillana’s work this past spring when one of his images of the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden was published as the ‘Go opener’ in the New Yorker magazine. It was a dazzling photo of mirrors and orchids that showed me the beauty of nature - of flowers - presented in a new, fresh way, as were the outtakes he shared on his Instagram. Looking up Ryan’s website and Instagram, I was rewarded with more photos showing his rich sensitivity to nature along with intimate and incisive explorations of family, migration, and identity. The connections between family and nature are often explicit in his work and made me consider the idea of family as ecosystem - and what it can mean to move people born or raised in one environment to another. While we can all thrive in a new environment, the initial months and years of displacement can often prove difficult. When we have at last made a flourishing life in a new place, where does that thing inside us go that still misses the soil where roots first grew?

Arcanite Pictures—The Community

Online group exhibition curated by Brian Van Lau

2022

This exhibition is comprised of 30 images from 30 emerging photographic artists. Together, the images chosen from the invited artists describe a community, a collective pairing of shared eyes on an intimate world, one vibrant, delicate, and ghostly. These photographs were paired together to reveal the parallel gaze between each other, revealing and observing with mutual reverence.

A Portrait of the Artist—Soft Covers and Hard Lines

Interview with Ava Williams

July 12, 2021

Ryan Frigillana on the photobooks, the unexpected photo, and connecting with yourself through art.

“If I was ever asked to name someone who has a clear and visible passion for what they do, Ryan Frigillana would be the first and only name to come out of my mouth. I have talked a lot about how it is very hard for me to truly feel moved by images because content is pushed out at such high rates I get overwhelmed and nearly numbed to it all. However, there has never been a time where Ryan hasn’t moved me in some way. Either with his clear passion for what he does or his excitement for the people who are really making art. He never misses a beat in my book. Which is why any time he creates anything I am ready to like, share, or buy whatever he is putting out to the world. As we speak his book Visions of Eden is out on display in my room. It is the only photobook I leave out for people to look at.”

Online group exhibition

2021

Prompt:
The sun fades throughout the day.
Til it turns toward the other side
and stray lights are revealed.
Even more gas giants above
the dark vacuum of ocean.
Too far in distance
Just close enough
to connect the dots.
Another rock is there, too.
Shifting through the shades: 
full, half, crescent, and new.
Waxing and waning along
the way in a lunar time.
The rotation picks up
towards another 
leaped year.

Ryan Frigillana is a Philippine-born lens-based artist living and working in New York.
