₱55,000.00
Mauro “Malang” Santos began his artistic journey as a newspaper cartoonist and illustrator in 1947. It was during 1967 when he dedicated his time to become a full-time painter. The classic themes in Malang’s paintings consisted of mother and child, woman vendors, barong-barong or shanties, and cityscapes all composed from his distinct style of geometric forms arranged into well-ordered, overlapping planes covered with a symphony of colors. Towards the late 1960s and early 1970s, his works became more stylized, simpler and less crowded but its sense of scale and proportion became bolder which is evident in his work in the CCP 21am Collection titled Landscape (1980).

Part of Cesar Legaspi’s personal iconography can be characterized by the dynamic and complex compositions his subjects are painted in. Figures are pressed close into the space that breathes life into the work. The artist’s focus on texture and use of warm colors uses a meticulous technique of dabbing paint on the canvas with a palette knife, a method he had mastered in the early 70s.
Federico Aguilar Alcuaz’s mixed media painting in the CCP 21AM Collection exhibits the artist’s unique stylistic approach. He embellishes his work with a combination of pure linear forms and abstract shapes with strong figurative allusions. A highly personal style that is neither geometric nor gestural but one that is driven by a play on unconscious impulses. Through his painterly brushwork, dramatic tonal contrasts, textural motifs, and dynamic shapes, Aguilar Alcuaz’s abstract compositions take on a strong compelling presence that marks his intense and fierce expression for art.
The Diaphanous series by Romulo Olazo is considered as one of his most notable works. The paintings are done through the process of overlapping layers of paint scraped on canvas developed from a collagraph technique in printmaking. The series seeks to explore the behavior of light in its purest state, each curvilinear shape possessing its unique sensuous experience. While Untitled (1974) is not distinctively part of the Diaphanous series, this artwork displays Olazo’s foray into deeper colors like purple and how it would behave with different tonal qualities.
In Jose Joya’s gestural works from the1960s, paint was applied intuitively and spontaneously. The rough surface textures were achieved by using broad brush strokes using brushes or spatulas or directly applied from the tube onto the canvas. The impasto finish mixed with sand over layers of primer, creates a sensual experience. Joya masters a delicate balance between control and spontaneity, translating into a visual language that holds unique to his body of work.
