Archie Chichimonster Geotina, Artist Biography

Emerging from Manila, Archie Geotina also known as Chichimonster, is a multi-disciplinary artist with roots heavily seeded in the street and graffiti culture of the Philippines. 

Archie’s influence is not “street” in the traditional sense—it is the culmination of
growing up in a raw setting filled with colonial influence, extreme social disparity, and
religious undertones. It is the vibration of the developing world, with rich insight on how new
political power operates in this modern world. His art depicts the irony and the truth of being
in an environment that nurtures luxury and poverty at the same time.

He co-founded the graffiti crew Katipunan Street Plan (KST) in 2006, which marked
the beginning of his evolution from the traditional graffiti to creating his own unique style.
Combined with a stream of consciousness process that taps into the countries historical
references, he bases his graffiti lettering on the lost Philippine alphabet, the Alibata. 

His style
is also inspired by the multitude of local cultures within the Philippine islands.
From murals to portraits, Archie mixes different materials of acrylic paint, spray
paint, ink, resin, and wheat paste to create his pieces. He has also used fire extinguishers in
his mixed media pieces. His art has led him to work in Manila, Baguio, Cebu, Bacolod, Los
Angeles, and New York.
