    "THE FISHERMEN", 1981 | © ANG KIUKOK


    HISTORICAL

    “Fishermen” is a painting by Ang Kiukok, it symbolizes the current age we are in today.
    The artist was trying to show how hard it is to live like a Filipino, and that with these
    struggles eventually comes hope. Just like in the current situation, a lot of Young
    Filipino students eventually give in to the struggles of being a student and get
    devoured by their stress and forgetting the most important part that hope cannot be
    achieved without struggles. And it is hoped that keeps us going.

    STYLISTIC

    Ang Kiukok’s painting was done in unique oil colors on a canvas mounted on wood 60.5
    x 91.2 cm (23 3/4 x 36 in). This is composed of three figures pulling the diagonal lines
    of a net straining with the harvest of fish as the red disc of a sun hovers above them, it
    spells out the surname of the master. “Fishermen” is a modern-day letter and figure.

    CULTURAL

    “Fishermen” is truly a painting used to describe the daily struggles of the Filipinos. It is
    showed in the painting how they struggle to get food for their family just to survive
    another day. It is seen in the painting how much the two fishermen are struggling to
    get their catch. It shows the very lives of all Filipinos. For the Philippines struggled a
    lot. Got colonized two times and still got its own independence later on. To struggle is
    to one day find hope somewhere. And now in the common era, A lot of Filipinos still
    struggle with food and financial problems. But most of them still strive for hope. Hope
    for the coming days, hope that one day it’ll be okay because in every problem there is
    always a solution.

    "SABEL", 2006 | © BENCAB


    HISTORICAL

    "Sabel", as described by the artist, is a real picture of a bedraggled scavenger,


    wondering with scraps of plastics, representing not only the vagrant woman but of
    any Filipina as well. Graphically told the emotion of sadness yet ironically heroic
    behind.

    STYLISTIC

    Oil on canvas
    67 x 55 cm (26 1/2 x 22 in)
    The vigorous brushwork of National Artist BenCab finds its ideal form in this, his
    most iconic subject, whose transformation over the years from disenfranchised
    vagrant and patron saint of the dispossessed to the totemic exemplar of beauty and
    grace has paralleled the ever-increasing interest in the artist's work.

    CULTURAL

    Inspired by these obras, a restyle was formed to represent the modern society,
    especially the women. Engulfed with layered of clothes showcasing the diverse
    viewpoints of the general public. How should a woman act, dress, work, speak, or
    think? How should a woman address or justify the standards set by humanity in order
    to be part of it? How should a woman be a woman in the eyes of the world? The
    stratum of clothing illustrated states that the voices of the world may be heard loudly
    by some women or noiselessly by others. Blurry, yet despite of the various judgements
    thrown, the women society is still standing up brightly, swaying strongly, and
    preciously proving that they also have the rights to choose what they want and how
    they want to overcome and do it. Women do not need to be encaged with the
    paradigms set by the world. The core desire of the artist in executing this artwork is to
    amplify the power and fierceness a woman beholds that should never be belittled – a
    cultural reset.
