ABOUT THE WORK

Widely acknowledged as the Father of Philippine Conceptual Art, Roberto Chabet is highly regarded for his experimental works, ranging from sculptures to installations created out of everyday materials and found objects. His works sparked an epochal shift within the traditions of Filipino art. His multidisciplinary approach to art sought to demonstrate the flexibility and versatility of the medium by exploring techniques and methods outside the then overarching style of Modernism and Abstract Expressionism. Chabet saw his works as liberating given that they no longer adhere to a strict style or form. Chabet’s practice took on a number of forms. Throughout his artistic career, he was a painter, sculptor, performer, and curator. He was the first Museum Director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. He then went on to lead other artist-run spaces in order to foster budding creative professionals and artists.
