Alwin Reamillo

Alwin Reamillo is an interdisciplinary artist living and working between Australia and the Philippines. He started a degree in painting at the College of Fine Arts, University of the Philippines but did not graduate and began his career as a lecturer in visual arts at the Philippine High School for the Arts. After migrating to Australia in 1995 he was admitted to the Master of Fine Arts program at the Western Australia School of Arts due to his work and continued practice but without holding a Bachelor’s degree. Reamillo became interested in the ideas of mobility, memory and exchange. His practice – ranging from painting, photography, collage and sculpture to mixed media installations to performance and shadow puppetry - is fundamentally rooted in the notions of mobility, trans-cultural movement and collaboration. Artist’s use of mobile elements and crafts reflect his ideas around travel, migration and cultural identity.

Expanding on the Beuysian concept of ‘social sculpture’, Reamillo continues to create sculptures that allow movement, dialogue and exchange as well as engages himself in cross-cultural collaborative projects. Alwin Reamillo has participated in established international shows such as the Venice Biennale (as part of artist duo Reamillo and Juliet, 1995), Havana Biennale (1997) and others.
