In the last decade, Benedicto Cabrera has been the subject of great acclaim. Having just recently celebrated 50 years of his art, a retrospective of the maestro’s work was imperative. Looking back at the National Artist’s long-spanning career, one of the most iconic subjects borne from his brush is Sabel. The plastic-garbed vagabond, immortalized by one of the most celebrated Filipino Artists, has now become one of the most recognized figures in Philippine art.
