The wolf does not don sheep’s clothing, rather, he wears the dignified and tailored suit associated with the educated and the elite. Locally, a corrupt public servant is often called a crocodile. And we understand how the animal’s voracious appetite and natural fierceness befits this figure of speech. Unnatural Civility stylishly extends this logic to recreate a beautiful world, one whose visually pleasing irony is apropos to the times.
Galerie Stephanie is proud to present “Unnatural Civility”, a solo exhibition by Reybert Ramos. Continuing to push his audience to deduce the symbolisms incorporated in his animal-human hybrids, this exhibit stylishly extends our understanding of the animal’s voracious appetite along our pressing social realities.

About the Artist
(b. 1981) Reybert Ramos’ path to an artistic career has already found light in his early years. Having attended Philippine High School of the Arts, and eventually earned a degree in Fine Arts in the University of the Philippines, Reybert has grown into a promising contemporary conceptual visual artist today.
His long-standing profession as an art director in one of the biggest television companies in the country further influenced his art. It is evident that pop culture and mass media has affected the subjects and concepts of his works. Reybert’s hybrids not only present themselves in visual magnificence, but also in conceptual intelligence and depth. Galerie Stephanie stood witness in his first solo show that almost sold out—a clear testimony of Reybert’s deepening influence in the art industry. With six group exhibitions and two solo shows as of 2016, he continues to blend the depth of realism with surreal eccentricities in a fast-paced pop-infused culture.
