Ronson Culibrina’s art exists within a unique intersection of traditional, modern, and contemporary modes of expression. His art is both a critical reaction and a logical endpoint to the vagaries of postmodern thought and expression that preceded his artistic maturation. His playful and whimsical pieces do not divorce themselves from context in favor of pure form, emotion, or expression. Instead, Culibrina taps into art’s potential as an analytic tool for our own history and historicity, yet he understands the need for novel and take in order properly situate an intersubjective and holistic sense of understanding. For Culibrina, nothing is too immaculate or revered enough to escape the scrutiny of artistic analysis and expression. Ronson Culibrina received his degree in fine arts at the Technological University of the Philippines in Manila. Since 2008, he has participated in group shows here and abroad and recently held simultaneous solo shows last July 2016 at the Ayala Museum and in Galerie Michael Janssen Berlin. He is a recipient of several awards including the Grand Prize, 23rd Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company painting Competition (2009) and Juror’s Choice, Philippine National Oil Company Painting Competition (2010).
