Learning Competencies:

Art Forms and Artists from the Regions

Researches on various contemporary art forms,

explains Filipino Artists roles and Contribution
CAR11/12CAP-0c-e-4/5
 Ready to Launch!
There are variety of art forms around us. Contemporary art encompasses many
different art forms, from traditional media such as paintings and drawings, to more
recently developed approaches that use digital and time-based media to create works
that incorporate both sound and image.
We must not limit ourselves to the commonplace or traditional ways of knowing
art. We must look beyond conventions when we appreciate art because art always has
the potential to go against the grain of established norms.

Aim at the Target!

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Discuss the relevance of form in art

2. Identify and discuss the categories of art and the classifications of art
forms
3. Provide and discuss examples of art forms from their region
4. Discuss the impact of new technology on contemporary art
5. Outline and discuss developments in various contemporary arts in the
Philippines
6. Examine and discuss the significant commonalities among regional art in
the Philippines

Try This!

Contemporary Art is generally considered to include art that is being

created at present. Contemporary art may be considered as art produced in
our lifetime or may refer to works of art made during the contemporary pe-
riod of art history.
Awareness of local heritage is significant aspect of contemporary art.
Local traditions, history, and contemporary issues influence the creation of
art.
Based from the previous topics, can you discuss ideas about contemporary
art and emerging art forms in your locality?
Answer this!
Discuss the following, write it in your activity sheets.
1. Identify a creative work in your community which can be considered an
example of contemporary art. Discuss its various aspects and how it re-
lates to contemporary art.

2. What current social, political, economic, and cultural development can

you consider as having a significant influence on contemporary Philip-
pine art? Explain.

3. How is art relevant to your life? Do you see yourself as an artist?

Keep This in Mind!

Analysis
In the Philippines, contemporary art practice consists of living traditions
and studio arts. Living traditions/traditional arts refer to the crafting of
material arts or artistic traditional ways that are passed on from one gen-
eration to the next within the context of daily life in the community. Collec-
tive cultural meaning and perfection of artistic ways are emphasized. Tra-
ditional art must have originality and uniqueness of expression.
APO WHANG OD-Last and oldest practitioner of Kalinga tattooing or mam-
babatok . Whang-od Oggay born February 17, 1917), also known as Maria
Oggay, is a Filipino tattoo artist from Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga, Philip-
pines.
Whang-od’s tribal tattoo ink is made up of charcoal and water. Once
mixed, it is tapped into the skin using a thorn from a citrus tree — either
from calamansi or pomelo. The thorn is then attached to a 12-inch long
bamboo stick and from there, Whang-od will start tapping it deep into your
skin. She has sample designs so that you can choose which design you’d
like. The locals or your tour guide will then gently relay your request to
Whang-od and from there she will start tapping your desired design.

 Abstraction and Generalization

The favourite subjects in contemporary art are children, women, or

the environment like flora and fauna. It can also be a combination of any
of these. In some artworks, the subject matter is not easily recognized. If
the artwork is an experiment on a technique, the subject matter is the
technique itself. In others, such as those in conceptual art, the viewer
has to engage in thinking and exploring the meaning of the artwork.
Some artworks are intended to make statement about an issue so the
viewer is guided by a written explanation.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
Is an art style in which the artist applies paint, for example in a
manner that expresses emotions and feelings in a spontaneous way. The
figured may be heavy in lines and color without solid mass.

KINETIC ART is a sculpture that may be moved by the wind or powered by

machine or electricity.
OP ART Use lines or images repeatedly to create optical illusion.
PERFORMANCE ART

tic theatrical expression performed before a live audience.
ENVIRONMENTAL ART
Involves the artistic creation or manipulation of space such as land-
scape or architectural design that may enclose its audience. earthwork or
art using stones, leaves, trees, grass, or other elements are included.
FEMINIST ART

of bits and bytes. The image can be printed on paper, tarpaulin, or other medi-
ums.
Some art styles progress through the decades and have influenced artists
throughout the globe, while some are short-lived and are confined to a group
of locality. As such, some styles cannot be confined to one particular decade.
Below is a list of some of the art movements and styles grouped by the decades
they are known to have flourished.

 APPLICATION

Our country has a wealth of traditional indigenous art practices, mostly

found in the pockets of threatened communities affected by developmental
encroachment such as deforestation and large-scale mining, to simplify our
task of identifying them, we will focus on forms done within established
schools living tradition identified and supported by the (NCCA) National
Commission , as well as other forms where (GAMABA) Gawad sa Manli-
likha ng Bayan. They focused on forms and styles of pottery, musical instru-
ments, making of attire and accessories and weaving of textiles and mats,
tasks of daily living, dance, oral literature, music and ritual. Skills and motifs
are passed on from master culture bearers to the next generation in the clan
or tribe.
Elements and principles of their designs are almost timeless and un-
changing except for minor adjustments in materials available in the local en-
vironment. Recognition of elements and principles in the material culture of
indigenous traditions are clearly described in terms of hues and intensity of
colors. These can mostly be seen in weaving textiles used as attires, mats and
beads for various tribe. Rhythm, balance and symmetry are also seen in the
weaving of yarns and fibers because the nature of the technique and materi-
also based on an almost mathematical counting.

Here are the most salient forms and styles per region!
NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
NEO-REALISM
VICTORIO EDADES– his arts are influenced by western cubism
where objects and subjects are analysed and broken down into geometric
structures and shapes viewed from a multiplicity of angles. Rendering charac-
ters in and aspects of Philippine daily life such as fishermen, jeepneys, cale-
sas, boats, fisher-folk, church devotees, vendors and shoppers in flat shapes
patterns, or stylized form.
 VICTORIO EDADES ART WORKS

PHOTOREALISM or HYPERREALISM
When painting is rendered in a meticulously realistic style with accu-
rate details looking like a photograph, it is called photorealism or hyperreal-
ism.

PHOTOREALISM ART

HYPERREALISM ART
(JU-VI Filipino Hyperrealist works)
Hyperrealism is a technique become magical realism if unreal or imagi-
nary elements are focused on their physical presence in the actual material
world. Surrealism often uses hyperrealist technique, but deals with psycho-
logical and subconscious reality such as irrationality in dreams and halluci-
nations, although some surrealist do not employ photorealist techniques

Philippines artist Ju-Vi, whose hyper-realistic paintings depict and appear ob-
sessed with a few recurring subjects — the human body, water and plastic. The
artist portrays a range of human emotions and deeper ideas. Plastic, for instance,
is closely associated with what seems to be feelings of suffocation, anguish, frus-
tration, or struggle, while water is closely tied to serenity, purity, and a general
sense of peacefulness.
SOCIAL REALISM
Emphasizes that the subject matter should show a keen awareness of
conflict arising from the oppressive conditions and events of time.
PABLO BAEN SANTOS (Activist-artist)

masked the ills and inequities
in Philippine politics

Abstract art may be pure beauty a reason for its own being , it can also
be derived from a recognizable object, thus it can be expressive or it can be
suggestive of an idea and can be a metaphor or symbol.
ARTURO LUZ

sculptures, he brought precision
of lines and perfection of form
without having to represent any
meaning or story behind it.

ROMULO OLAZO

various tints and shades to achieve patterns of rich transparencies.

Other Abstract Artist

• Rodolfo Samsonte
• Ben Maramag
CONCEPTUAL ART

ROBERTO CHABLET
He was recognized as the father of Philippine conceptual art. His work
is all about playful, endless experimentation. According to him art is all
about idea. Taking many shapes and sizes only supports the idea which is
not confined to one specific explanation but a wide horizon of possibilities.
His media are the following, bricks, plywood, calipers, compasses, rulers
measure and gauges. These creates installations of temporary but precise
edifices of planes, triangles, slopes, stairs ru0ngs and angles. He mentored
the following younger conceptual artists.

• Gerardo Tan • Sid Hildawa

• Trek Valdizno • Christina Quisumbing Ramilo
• Nilo Ilarde • Calro Ramirez
• Ringo Bunoan • Eric Zamuco
• Poklong Anading
OP ART
Binakul as Ancestral Contemporary national Motif
Binakul (twill in Ilocano) is the common term for the blanket recognizable
by abstract patterns which create an optical illusion. In western art, similar
paintings and graphic designs are labelled as “Op Art”.
The binakul design is present in the blankets of the Tinguian and Itneg
of Abra, and in Ilocano abel blankets in Vigan. There is an impression move-
ment, flashing and vibrating, advancing and receding patterns, or of swelling
and shrinking. These signifies the rhythms of the universe present in the rip-
ples of water. It also visually suggests the echoing vibration of kubing.
Binakul is just one of the many designs which national living treasure
abel weaver Magdalena Gamayo, from Pinili, Ilocos Norte can expertly do.
This is an ancestral contemporary national motif applicable to nay medium
and technique in visual art

Binakul Textile Designs

Traditional Cordilleran Bulul, Culture of Ancestors in Contemporary Art

The bulul is a figure representing ancestors who guard both rice agricul-
ture from seed to granary, as well as the health of the Cordilleran people.
Bulul may be male or female, normally portrayed squatting on the ground with
knees folded up to support its crossed arms. It is commonly carved from a log
of narra or ipil, and at times in stone. The most important element of art to
observe in the bulul is form, while the most important principle to analyze is
proportion

Santiago Bose (1949-2002), an artist with Ilocano and Igorot roots, un-
derscored his Cordilleran ancestral culture in his life work. He brought folk
religion, mythology, rituals and tribal traditions into the national and global
arena. Bose influenced surrealist painter Roberto Villanueva to pursue this
direction through performance and installations. He also inspired artists like
Alwin Reamillo, Arnell Agawin, Perry Mamaril ,and Kawayan de Guia to
become "cultural drifters" like him. These younger artists,who moved from
one ancestral abode to another, refined Bose's visual style, exploring the most
innovative media in re-examining cultural heritage in the context of the fast-
changing global milieu.
Works of Santiago Bose
Botong school of painting in Angono
The painting style of Carlos "Botong Fancisco lives on in his hometown of
Angono, where painters who were his students and followers continue to ro-
manticize their local rural life. The carry on Botong's painting approach to
subject like bayaniban,f ishing, farming, landscapes with carabaos, the La-
guna Lake,l ocal churches of Rizal province, and cultural festivals such as the
Higantes, Viva Kristo Rey, and Flores de Mayo. They follow the lively composi-
tion of robust figures and ornamental landscapes defined by graceful lines and
patterns.
The most notable principles of art to observe in the Botong school of
painting are proportion, balance, symmetry, variety, emphasis, and move-
ment. The most prominent painters of this school are Jose Blanco(1932-2008)
and his family of painters which include Perdigon Vocalan, Tam Austria (b
1943), Salvador Juban, Pepito Villaluz, Manuel Unidad, and Nemesio Mi-
randa （b 1949).These artists are committed to keep alive the painting tradi-
tion of Botong in their canvases, preserve Angono's rich cultural heritage, and
keep their beloved town in the culture and tourism map of the country.

CARLOS “BOTONG” FRANCISCO ART WORKS

Colorful Painted Carvings
The brothers Manuel and Angelito Baldemor are well known for their
distinct personal styles of colorfully painted carvings of pastoral landscapes
and scenery. Manuel is a painter who has done three-dimensional cubist-
influenced painted carvings of themes of folk and rural life. Angelito specializes
in carving colorful realistic reliefs of still life, flora, and fauna with fine details
like those of santan flowers, rice grains, basket weaves, and mat.

The Anino Shadowplay Collective, founded in 1996, is a group of art

practitioners originating from the Philippine High School for the Arts, a govern-
ment-run secondary school for artistically gifted students located in the forest
reserves of Mt. Makiling in Laguna. The collective is composed of visual artists,
musicians, and multi-disciplinary cultural workers. It grew out of young stu-
dents engaging in the game of shadow playing during the time of the energy
crisis when flashlights, candles, and gas lamps were their only source of even-
ing light. Among its pioneering visual artist members were Don Salubayba,
Datu Arellano, and Marc Cosico.
Visayas
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has facilitated
the establishment of twenty-two schools of living traditions housed in balay-
turun-an among the Panay-Bukidnon in Capiz and Iloilo. The mother school is
in Central Panay. The three basic art forms taught in these schools are 1)epic
chanting of Suguidanon about the adventures of the brothers Labaw Dong-
gon and Humadapnon; 2)t he art of embroidery called panubok which is used
to adorn the saipang, the traditional red or white blouse for girls and women,
with patterns of flowers, stars, water, vines, birds, and insects rendered in
simple, rhythmic, and repeated zigzag, straight lines, triangles and diamond
forms; 3)the binanog, which was originally a courtship dance performed dur-
ing harvests and weddings, where dancers vigorously stamp their feet and
gracefully outstretch their arms like birds' wings; 4)making and playing musi-
cal instruments such as the tambol and kubing, and 4)making bamboo handi-
crafts such as trays and baskets.
 The schools of living traditions of the Ati of Antique, Negros Oriental, and
Guimaras sustain their nascent lifestyle, language, and environment as they
go about their hunting, foraging, and weaving of baskets from nito and uway.
Mat weaving in Basey, Samar features designs which comprise of a border pat-
tern and a central motif. Common images featured in the designs include flow-
ers such as hibiscus and sampaguita; leaves such as palay, fern, and neem;
and plumage such as peacock or rooster feathers. Some weavers include por-
traits of famous figures or personalities and exotic landscapes and seascapes.
Traditional colors are maroon and green, although the weavers today have an
expansive palette of rainbow colors to work with.There is an NCCA-supported
school of living tradition in Basiao, Basey which propagates mat weaving from
tikog.

The Martino Abellana(1914-1988)school of painting in Cebu is named

after the master realist of portraits and landscapes. Abellana's style is charac-
terized by a chiaroscuro defined by a unique use of color progression: from
warm hues of yellow, to orange, to red, to cool green, to blue and violet. Ber-
nardo Hermoso, Jose Ybanez, Antonio Ylanan, Siegfredo Galan, Isabelo
Quiles, Arlene Villaver, and Florentino Impas,Jr. are the artists influenced
by Abellana who have excelled in their own personal styles.
Patadyong Colors and Designs from Visayas as National Art Motiff
Patadyong is a traditional plaid textile which women weave in Antique,
Iloilo, and Negros Occidental, made of mostly primary colors of red, yellow,
blue, and secondary colors of orange, purple, and green. The cloth is woven in
stripes, squares, and rectangles, and is commonly used as a wrap-around
skirt in lowland Christian culture, Including southern Luzon. The aesthetics of
the patadyong have been a strong influence in contemporary art expressions
in the region, notably in the works of the group in Bacolod called Black Artists
of Asia. It was founded by Norberto Roldan, Nunelucio Alvarado, Charlie Co
and Dennis Ascalon in order to explore new styles of expression while dealing
with issues affecting the social and cultural life of local people.

OGTONGANON JEFF TICAO HABLON PATADYONG AND FACE MASK

Ilonggo Artist Rock Drilon
Iloilo-born painter Rock Drilon was a protege of National Artist Jose Joya.
After three decades of an art career in Manila, Drilon returned to Dumangas,
Iloilo to live, work, and enliven the art scene there. He is known for his highly
personal style of abstract expressionism. His canvases are suffused with thin
coats of middle tone hues, then scratched in subtraction method to create
overlays of different textures and inscribed planes. He applies audacious
brushstrokes of pigment and lets them drip. He would then paint forms of
boundless coils and knots over them like a toddler lost in playing with yarns.

Boy Masculino and Pugad Artist (Oton, Iloilo)

A bronze of Datu Paiburong at the Iloilo River Es-
planade. A project of the JCI (Junior Chamber Interna-
tional) Iloilo Ilang-Ilang in partnership with the Iloilo City
Government, the warrior statue is showcased to show
Iloilo City's Dinagyang Festival, just in time for its cele-
bration during January.
The statue which depicts Datu Paiburong as the
Iloilo Dinagyang Warrior conceptualized and designed by
local artist Boy Maculino. It stands 15 feet from its base
and will be made from cement with a bronze finishing.
MINDANAO
There are various ethnolinguistic communities in Mindanao such as the
B'laan, Bagobo, Bukidnon（Talaandig and Manobo), Higaonon, Mandaya,
Maguindanao, Mansaka, and Subanen. The NCCA supports twenty-two
schools of living traditions in Mindanao where subjects taught by elders in-
clude weaving and embroidery of attire, mat weaving, dance, making musical
instruments, and crafting bead accessories. All of these are integrated and
kept alive in daily life.
The malong has been traditionally used for various purposes. It is used
as a skirt for both men and women, a blanket, dressing cover, hammock, and
as a prayer mat. It is also used for rituals and the malong dance.

In Zamboanga del Sur,the Subanen of Sitio Carayagan in Josefina make

notable bead accessories. Patterns in the bead design called karitis, sabat,
and batangyawe are repeated diamonds and zigzags in colors of yellow, red,
blue, and green.
Ukkil from Mindanao as National Symbol
Ukkil or okir is the distinct traditional art form representing Mindanao.
It is a curvilinear motif representing the mythical dragon, naga, or serpent,
often enhanced with elaborate leaf and vine patterns. It is woven or embroi-
dered in clothing, sculpted into wooden house beams called panolong, carved
on grave markers, incised on wooden chests, boxes, and bamboo musical in-
struments, engraved on handles of swords and blades, and etched into cast
brass and silver vessels. A composite of ukkil forms, he sarimanok is a symbol
in the form of a rooster with a hanging fish in its beak, bringing the naga to a
resplendent flourish. The best of these are handcrafted in Tugaya, Lanao del
Sur, a famous heritage center for traditional Maranao. National Artist Abdul-
mari Imao was instrumental in popularizing the ukkil motif and the
sarimanok, educating Filipinos to appreciate these as national symbols. Liga-
ya Amilbangsa has been largely influential in propagating the pangalay dance
as truly Filipino. GAMABA mat weaver Haja Amina Appi from Sama uses
ukkil in the wave motifs in her tepo. Despite originating from Filipino Muslim
culture, these designs are recognized and admired by all Filipinos.
