Ernest Concepcion was born in Manila, Philippines where he received his BFA then moved to the US in 2002. It was in the lonely town of Englewood, New Jersey where he began The Line Wars, a series of over 100 black and white drawings depicting opposing forces engaged in ridiculous battle based on the entertainments of childhood and adolescence. He has exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, d.u.m.b.o. arts center, Asian American Arts Centre, The Contemporary Museum in Hawaii, Exit Art and numerous galleries in the Philippines among others. Concepcion has participated in the LMCC/Workspace 120 Broadway Artist Residency, the Bronx Museum of Art Artists-in-the-Marketplace (AIM) program, and just finished the Artists Alliance Inc. Rotating Studio Program this year. During this time he broke away from the formulaic style of the drawings and explored different approaches to conflict creating an entirely new body of work. He currently teaches kids at the Brooklyn Children's Museum on how to draw and think. He wears eyeglasses, loves to drink and plays PC games like a freak. Yes, PC games.
