Argie Bandoy

Argie Bandoy is a Filipino artist currently showing at Tate Modern. The collection is called "Serial Killers: From Tate Modern to Taksu Singapore" It features multiple contemporary Filipino artists. But to me, Argie stands out. He shows us many mixed media collages (which happen to be my favorite medium). I came across a previous artist statement from him, genius.
