₱45,000.00
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 Genesis (1968) by Hernando “H.R.” Ocampo is a tapestry at Tanghalang Nicanor Aberlardo, the main theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Supersized from an original oil-on-canvas painting, it was produced by Bizenya Weaving Co. in Kyoto, Japan. Since its installation, the tapestry has symbolized not only the institution but of the aspirations of the Filipino creative spirit. It emanates a blazing and enduring flame where the biomorphic forms of red tones modulate into yellows at the center, empowering the passionate spirit of any viewer who comes to the CCP to watch a performance.
The thematic expressions present in Ang Kiukok’s works often revolve around representations of still life, dog fights, crucifixions, his junkscape series, human figures in anguish, and seated figures. While the other themes highlight brute instinct and intense expressions, Kiukok’s still life paintings show a lighter side to his body of work. The vibrant colors in complementing schemes and contorted shapes of Lamesa (1979) draw us into an interior perspective that recedes into the pictorial plane.
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.
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.
