The art of Ben Cabrera reaches a high point of plastic imagery. The swirls and draperies turn and twist thus linear and relief approaches are successfully combined.
Sabel has flitted in and out of Bencab's output as the elusive woman of either the shimmering garb or the dirty sackcloth or the ever symbolic Filipiniana provincial outfit; sometimes the artist preferred a niggardly glimpse of her gritty face; at other times the countenance of youthful beauty is in full display in all her manifestations here. Bencab interweaves his earlier manifestations of Sabel in the form of sculptures or figurines while continuing the aesthetics of his art. They are both Filipino as much as they recall the old porcelain factories of Europe.
Bencab brings a touch of the magical and the charming which gradually unfurl within a three dimensional visual field where figure and space become one.
