Ohlala #194

We are passionate specialists in contemporary international pop, lowbrow, pop surrealism, street, tiki, modern folk, retro with a twist and underground art. We dig art that crosses over with design, pop and counter culture. Our approach is one that breaks out of the typical gallery mood. We showcase a fresh and ever-changing salon selection of original artworks, limited edition prints and posters as well as the best hard-to-get books, magazines, curios, mid-century inspired ceramics and collectible vinyl toys. Born in Paris, France, in 1990, Philippines based artist Reen Barrera spent his childhood recreating his favorite cartoons with papier-mâché’. As a teenager, he repaired wooden church statues and would keep the excess wood scraps to make toys and figures out of. He naturally circled back into this practice after graduating from art school. With “Ohlala’ being the omphalos to his universe, Barrera presents a colorful commentary based on personal experiences
