Also known as “RG”, Guerrero Habulan is a figurative painter who is stimulated by the idea of the union of the unlikeliest things. He describes his works as satirical realism, juxtaposing figures and elements to achieve a socially relevant work that contains societal context. Border / Boarder is the first piece by this artist to be offered at Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers, illustrating three military officers in various uniforms sitting with a young boy - one of the officers is holding an Imperial Japan war flag, which indicates the Pacific War. The male figures are looking over a barrier where a group of local female street vendors are trying to sell them their goods.
Guerrero Z. Habulan received his Bachelor in Fine Arts Major in Visual Communication from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, Diliman, Quezon City. In June 2013, he exhibited The Vicissitudes of Victoria, his second solo exhibition in Singapore, a culmination of his residency at Artesan Singapore in early 2012. His past solo exhibitions include Alien-Nation, The Philippines (2011), Reality Bites, The Philippines (2010), Juan Their Friends, Singapore (2009), among others.
