HARTA in partnership with Artemis Art presents Silent Persistence, a solo exhibition by Syahbandi Samat, on view 6 from to 28 June 2026. Well-known for his meticulously executed ballpoint pen on canvas artworks, the exhibition is the artist’s second solo exhibition held at HARTA, after The Road Less Travelled held in 2023. 

Curated by emerging Filipino artist Dennis Bato, Silent Persistence is a somewhat thematical shift away from themes of confession and regret depicted in his earlier works, offering the consequence and causality of ‘what if’ explorations that lay bare vulnerabilities, reflections of the artist’s lived experience that resonate with how we grapple with everyday choices, while weighing the possible outcomes of our actions.
