In The Jeepney by Quatro Los Baños

In The Jeepney is an homage to Roy Lichtenstein's 1963 artwork, In The Car. Living in the Philippines, jeepneys are common modes of transportation because they are cheap and fast. The artist captures the morbid thrill of riding speeding jeepneys at midnight, showcasing his appreciation for the unique nature of each individual vehicle brought on by their driver’s personalisations. The time spent commuting on jeepneys also brings inspiration to Quatro's practice, as he uses the trips to soak in his surroundings.

Artist Bio:

Quatro Los Baños is a Filipino multimedia artist based in Makati, who has exhibited at different galleries in Metro Manila, Singapore, and London. He is part of CAVITY COLLECTIVE, a family of Philippines-based urban artists, from whom he learned how to create murals.

While his works borrow heavily from pop culture aesthetics, Quatro is inspired by personal experience: his ever-changing surroundings, and strong emotions from his past. Melancholy, death, nostalgia, and disconnect, all come together to form a compelling contrast with his original smiling heart character. He hopes that his work can represent people who remain strong in the face of tragedy and loss.
