Philippine artist Ronald Ventura has garnered enormous international attention in recent years. He is noted for paintings featuring complex layering, combining images and styles raging from hyperrealism to cartoons and graffiti — as well as for a significant body of sculptural work. He takes the layering process as a metaphor for the multifaceted national identity of the Philippines. Over the centuries, the profound influences of various occupying powers – Spain, Japan, and the United States – along with the underlying indigenous culture, have produced a complex and at times uneasy sense of identity. Ventura explores this historical and psychic phenomenon through a dialogue of images evoking East and West, high and low, old and young.
He is currently represented by Tyler Rollins Fine Art, 529 West 20 Street, 10W, New York, NY 10011. |
