About Marcel Antonio
- Marcel Antonio (born June 28, 1965) is a Filipino painter.
- Considered as one of the most promising young talents in Philippine contemporary art while still attending the University of the Philippines' College of Fine Arts in the late 1980s, he launched a solo show and thereafter dropped out of the college to continue to produce collections of his distinctly narrative as well as pseudo-narrative figurative paintings influenced by modernism and 1980s postmodernism.
- Since then, Antonio produced enough sold-out works to be quickly counted as one of the Philippines' young painters most proficient in the magic realist sort of post-expressionism in the country.Since his dropping out of college to concentrate on a profitable, already-budding career, Antonio has to this day continued to be considered as a prize of collectors in the Manila art market.
- This market following has in turn granted him mainstream gallery success through an unending series of sold-out exhibitions courtesy of his art dealers.Antonio's works involve a clear post-expressionism with mysterious themes, often utilizing fabular images that combine myth with reality, creating seeming stories behind his paintings that has continued to capture Manila's mainstream gallery-goers' attention. In his country, Antonio has exhibited in major galleries including Galleria Duemila, The Drawing Room, Gallery BIG, Galleria Quattrocento (his recurring mother gallery), and AltroMondo Arte Contemporanea, where his following has included local and international collectors.
- He has also exhibited in Berlin, Australia, and Singapore.
