Social Realist painter, printmaker and editorial cartoonist Neil Doloricon is recognized for his sharp visual allegories of prevailing social realities, Doloricon now explores the potential of traditional Philippine myths to convey social and historical issues.

Doloricon utilizes rubbercut - a medium the artist has consistently worked in and has visually articulated various contemporary issues through.

His approach to representation is imbued with nationalist content and scrutiny the artist has manifested throughout his explorations in various media. Doloricon also finds the most pressing of contemporary issues mirrored in the myths of how grain came into this word – a product and commodity that, in its prevailing social context, becomes as volatile as oil and gasoline, harboring many repercussions for ordinary people.

Doloricon is a regular contributor to various dailies and alternative people’s publications, such as Pinoy Weekly. He also served the academe of the University of the Philippines as a faculty member and as the former Dean of the UP College of Fine Arts from 1999-2001.
