"The Turtle" by Ryan Giron

It seems so basic at first but the elementary visual is a pop art to its purest sense. It is a risk to challenge the art judgment but Ryan Giron's stood by it firmly - reliving his childhood ridicules. This is a clear statement on what art is all about, his art is all about.

Ryan Giron is a graduate and a former part-time faculty of UST Fine Arts and currently a Senior Art Director in an ad agency.

"These are commissioned work for an album cover/art. But because of some uncontrollable circumstances the project didn't push through. Despite that, I'm really proud of this, especially for the fact that I didn’t use Photoshop here - pure old school collage." - JP Cuison

And Pop Art Pilipinas Was Born!


Pop Art Pilipinas is the only visual art movement in the Philippines that aims to create and recreate. It plays around with every possible medium and context the world has. Expressed by styles and techniques from the most respected cultural forms to the most mundane objects, PAP perceives life with or without attitude. It produces significant off-tangent themes that can inspire a global revolution or change a man’s ice cream flavor preference.

PAP was formed by advertising professionals with strong desire to lead and promote pop art in the Philippines.
