DEMETRIO PAPARONI
The first comprehensive monograph on the life and career of the Filipino artist Andres Barrioquinto, a rising star of the contemporary Southeast Asian art scene. The volume deals with the complex universe of the artist (born Manila, 1975), who combines elements deriving from the iconography and aesthetic of Baroque with Japanese woodcuts (ukiyo-e), reinterpreted in a Pop style. In his paintings, men, women, and anthropomorphic animals are shown in forests plentiful with butterflies and birds, which introduce the theme of vanitas in a context of strong visual impact. Demetrio Paparoni is an art critic, curator, and essayist. His publications include: Wang Guangyi (2013), Natee Utarit (2017), and Ronald Ventura (2018). Patrick Duarte Flores is a Filipino independent art critic, curator of the Vargas Museum in Manila, a former curator of the Philippine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2015, and artistic director of the 2019 Singapore Biennale. Ricky Francisco is a Filipino independent art curator and current director of the Fundacion Sansó and the Lopez Museum. Elio Cappuccio is President of the Sicilian College of Philosophy.
