Anton Reverente, known artistically as Legion, is a self-taught visual artist from Manila working across oil, pencil, and digital mediums. Emerging from a background in black and gray tattooing, Legion’s current practice merges expressionist intensity with biomechanical distortions—yielding portraits that feel both nightmarish and disturbingly human.

His work excavates the deep subconscious, where psychological ruins, technological decay, and the grotesque beauty of imperfection collide. Legion's figures aren’t depictions—they're confrontations. Each one speaks to collective struggle and the unraveling of the human form in an era of artificial dominance. These are not images for passive viewing; they are haunted transmissions from what we choose not to see.
