ARCHIE OCLOS BIO
Archie Oclos is a visual artist who creates site-specific works that delve into the everyday realities of Filipinos, influenced by his extensive community work across the Philippines. His art is carefully crafted, with a keen attention to the environments and materials that resonate with the contexts of the spaces where it is displayed.
Growing up as the son of farmers in poverty, Archie Oclos’s early experiences in the rice fields profoundly shaped his artistic focus on representing minorities and the oppressed. His commitment to amplifying marginalized voices through his art has garnered him significant accolades, including being named a Grantee of the Asian Cultural Council in 2024, winning the Ateneo Art Awards in 2019, receiving the CCP Thirteen Artists Award in 2018, and being honored as a Forbes 30 Under 30 in both 2017 and 2018.
Recently, Oclos completed an art residency with the Asian Cultural Council in New York, USA continuing to expand his advocacy through his artwork in the Philippines and across.
He is currently based in Manila and lives with his three cats.
