When not painting, Ang Kiukok would create ink-on-paper works, which bear some of his most iconic figures. These two images (that of a seated figure and of a dog) are already well-established in the National Artist’s canon and have direct connection to some of his notable works. While the paintings prove Ang Kiukok’s fluency with color, pictorial distortion, and a sense of scale, the drawings establish his mastery of draftsmanship — a prerequisite, if one thinks about it, for credible figuration.
