by STPI Location: Singapore Tyler Print Institute
Artist(s): BenCab
Date: 15 Jan - 12 Feb 2011
"Glimpses" presents a mix of vibrant works in etching, lithography, relief print and paper pulp works on BenCab's recurrent theme for which he has become famous - what it means to be Filipina. BenCab's second residency at STPI embraced the spontaneous nature of paper pulp and employed a bold, new colour palette resulting in a series of expressive and vivid works based on familiar characters such as "Sabel", a symbol of grace and strength and the changing social fabric of contemporary Philippines.
