About the Artwork

José John Santos III’s pictorial language navigates between his surrealist technique and depictions of everyday life. Within the composition of Barrio Sirkero, the artist collocates vignettes of a local circus where objects and people seem detached at first glance, but at closer reading, respond to one another—creating a visual simulation of Filipino festivities and life as we know it. This artwork is a part of the book Si Lupito at ang Barrio Sirkero written by Rowald Alamzar and illustrated by Santos himself.

About the Artist

José John Santos III took formal art studies at the University of the Philippines where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree. He eventually became a faculty member of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts and taught for seven years. In 2000, he was bestowed the Thirteen Artists award by the Cultural Center of the Philippines. He has had numerous exhibits both here and abroad.
