LESLIE DE CHAVEZ: THY WILL BE DONE

This publication is a collection of a solo exhibition of Leslie de CHAVEZ, published for his solo show Thy Will Be Done at ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL from May 1 to June 20, 2026.

Leslie de CHAVEZ (b. 1978) has consistently explored contemporary issues by delving into the complex social and historical contexts of his native Philippines—probing the history of cultural imperialism and colonialism, the realities of contemporary life, and the absurdities of politics and religion. Thy Will Be Done examines how faith functions as a medium that projects, interprets, and at times misreads notions of dominance, control, obedience, and conformity, as well as acceptance and resignation.
