ABOUT THE WORK

Filipino artist Angelito Antonio is among the renowned Filipino artists whose practice involves traditional genre scenes with a modernist flair. His iconic style features a Cubist- inflected common folk such as cockfighters, street vendors, mother and child, and the family. Heavily influenced by his mentor, National Artist Vicente Manansala, Antonio’s works are chromatic masterpieces with angular and calculated renditions of subjects and scenes. The tension between figuration and abstraction in his pieces leads viewers into taking a closer look into his distinct aesthetic disposition. (J.D.)
