Reen Barrera
The exhibition will showcase a comprehensive range of Reen Barrera’s works; from the artist’s universally beloved Ohlala and Duge paintings and wooden sculptures to his kinetic automata wooden sculptures and experimental abstract works. Further highlights include an artist-led gallery tour, which will be held on the first day of the exhibition.
The internationally celebrated artist has held solo exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the Asian and American continent, and Barrera has recently collaborated with Phillipine’s largest provider of mobile money services, GCash, on an Ohlala NFT Collection. Gaining great traction over recent years, the artist has amassed a great following of international collectors as a leading emerging artist.
Barrera’s works are compassionate at heart. Perceptive and benevolent, these works are, both, a work of soft social critique and a letter of hope for future generations. Having grown up a “toy-deprived” child, Barrera would use found objects to make his own toys to play with. In retrospection, these innocent acts would subsequently bear fruit to the creativity and imagination sublimated in his current work. Inspired by the artist’s very own childhood experiences, one driving appeal behind Barrera’s works is their reflection of the artist’s conviction to create his own destiny, overcome socio-economic barriers and leave his mark behind.
