Bio

    Luis Antonio Santos (b. 1985) is a visual artist working primarily through painting and photography in order to explore ideas around the tension between mediums and materials. His practice revolves around the juxtaposition between painting and objects/materials—presenting the two as a single entity. He works mainly with oil paintings on canvas but have increasingly been working with silkscreen printing as a painting tool and using different materials as a surface or as a channel for the work.

Selected Exhibitions

To See A Landscape As It Is
Silverlens, Manila
Silverlens is pleased to announce 'To See A Landscape As It Is,' a group exhibition curated by Nilo Ilarde featuring Soler Santos, Mona Santos, Luis Antonio Santos, Carina Santos, and Isabel Santos. For the first time since 2014, the Santos family comes together in a collective exhibition, bringing forth a distinct yet intertwined vision.
MANILA
26 June - 24 July 2021
Threshold
Silverlens, Manila
A threshold demarcates space. It signifies a boundary, yet doubly exists as an indicator of the point at which something begins to change. We use “threshold” to measure the very limit of things like pain, temperature, longing, rooms. Similarly, the imagery Luis Antonio Santos utilizes for Threshold stands in as marks. The subjects of the work themselves are liminal spaces, enclosed in a constant sort of in-betweenness, delineating one state from another: the pause before a change.
MANILA
02 June - 30 June 2018
(sounds fading, distant. sounds distant, muted)
Silverlens, Manila
SILVERLENS is pleased to announce Luis Antonio Santos’ third solo show with the gallery, '(sounds fading, distant. sounds distant, muted)'. His process in tackling representation constantly changes, but his material, corrugated galvanized iron sheets, remain a constant, becoming a point of discussion and reference in his work.
MANILA
05 June - 05 July 2014
Gathered Narratives
Silverlens, Manila
The heritability of artistic and creative skills is an intriguing concept that serves as a sideshow to Gathered Narratives, which features a single family blessed with an abundance of talent. The works of the Santos family— composed of Soler (b. 1960), Mona (b. 1962) and their children Luis (b. 1985), Carina (b. 1988), and Isabel (b. 1990)—are, for the first time, gathered in a single exhibition.
