ABOUT THE WORK

          Wetlands I was part of a 2009 group exhibition at the Boston Gallery entitled Cloud Cuckoo Land — a brainchild of a college barkada who first organized the exhibition Toys at the Ayala  Museum and soon became successful artists. 
          Paulo Vinluan’s works have always dealt with the ludicrous and surreal.  He sticks to his narratives told through images rendered in the manner of comic book illustrations.
          An Alumnus of the University of the Philippines and the Pratt Institute, New York.  He was recognised as a finalist in both the Philip Morris Philippine Art Awards and the 20th Metrobank Young Painter’s Annual (watercolor category).  His first solo show, Speck, was launched at Finale Art File’s SM Megamall space when he graduated a year later in 2004.
