ACTIVITY 1.1 ANALYZING CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE ARTS

1. WHY DO WE NEED TO KNOW THE VARIOUS CONTEMPORARY ART FORMS FROM

DIFFERENT REGIONS?

It allows people to be exposed to stimuli that can elicit ideas and even
emotions. It can lead to new information, education, and progress for many people. Art
may be really thought-provoking at times. This is due to the fact that it communicates
through images rather than words. The fact is that the many ideas conveyed via modern
art are extremely significant to society and reflect the many developments that have
occurred in philosophy and science over the course of our lifetimes. One thing will always
be true: contemporary art is a picture of what it was like to live in our current culture,
and it will be significant in art history.

2. AFTER LEARNING THE VARIOUS CONTEMPORARY ART FORM FROM THE DIFFERENT
REGIONS, HOW THIS LESSON HELPS YOU IN APPRECIATING CONTEMPORARY ARTS?

After learning about various contemporary art forms, I am now more

motivated to incorporate them into our daily life since it allows me to interact and
explore more easily.

ACTIVITY 1

1. DO THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND WORKS OF THE ARTIST HAVE A GREAT EFFECT IN

RECOGNIZING HIM/HER AS NATIONAL ARTIST? WHY?

Yes, because artists, like sportsmen, require accomplishments. Some artists are
given that distinction because they are a source of pride for their countries and are regarded
as a living asset. Furthermore, they are well-known painters whose works are shown in
museums all over the world, where they are sold and acquired for exorbitant prices.

2. CHOOSE ONE ARTIST THAT YOU KNOW WHO DESERVE TO BE AWARDED/RECOGNIZED

AS NATIONAL ARTIST OF THE PHILIPPINES, AND WHY?

Assume I select someone deserving of the title "National Artist of the

Philippines." In that scenario, I'll go with the late actor and director Eduardo Verchez Garcia,
better known as Eddie Garcia. Why? He is regarded as the "greatest Filipino actor of all time"
due to his passion and influence on Philippine television. Throughout his career as an artist,
he has developed and participated in around 700 films and television shows. He is regarded
as the most beloved actor in Philippine cinema, and he excels at portraying both the adversary
and the main character. Because of his devotion, impact, and influence on many, I think he
deserved the title of National Artist of the Philippines.

ACTIVITY 1

Ernest Concepcion (1977-present)

Concepcion is a studio artist whose work experiments with intense emotion,

deconstructing images in his paintings, sculptures, and installations. He creates art like
recording a music album, where each painting is from a series of nine. Concepcion describes
it as producing an old favorite, a classic, sleeper hit and one piece he doesn’t really like but
keeps coming back to. He is a graduate of the University of the Philippines, with a Bachelor
in Fine Arts while under the mentorship of pioneer conceptual artist Roberto Chabet. After
graduation, he moved to New York in 2002 and spent a significant amount of time in
Brooklyn, where he participated in art residences for the Bronx Museum of Art Artists-in-
the-Marketplace (AIM) Program, the Artists Alliance Inc. Rotating Studio Program, and the
Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) Workspace Program. Concepcion returned to
Manila in 2013 with a triumphant solo show at the U.P. Vargas Museum, after participating
in the El Museo del Barrio La Bienal in New York. He remains active on the Asian art scene
and is a recent recipient of the 13th Artists Award by the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Leeroy New (1986-present)

Initially trained as a sculptor, Leeroy’s work blends theatre, fashion, film,

production design, and public art. He graduated from the prestigious Philippine High School
for the Arts, before continuing his Fine Arts degree at the University of the Philippines. He
has received artist residences in Singapore and Australia and was awarded the 13 Artists
Award by the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2014. His large-scale public art uses
common objects and materials found in everyday environments. In the sand dunes of Paoay,
Ilocos Norte, Leeroy collaborated with the local government to convert discarded water
tanks and cement fountains into a post-apocalyptic park filled with sculptures. His most
recent grant from the Burning Man Global Arts foundation was used to transform the most
polluted waterway in Manila, the Pasig River, with floating installations – challenging views
on the environment.

Oscar Villamiel (1953-present)

Born in Caloocan City, Manila, Villamiel is a multimedia artist known for his large-
scale installations consisting of objects found in local communities. His art career may have
started later in life, but his installations have enthralled audiences for the past decade. He
initially worked as a set designer for television, a leather bag craftsman and a successful t-
shirt company entrepreneur before holding his first solo exhibition in 2006. He once filled a
room with thousands of bullhorns in his show Mga Damong Ligaw (‘Wild Weeds’) in 2014, at
the Light and Space Contemporary in Fairview, Manila. The bullhorn installation was made
to look like a terrain of weeds when viewed at a certain angle. Villamiel’s work reflects the
current socio-political situation in the country, highlighting elements of poverty,
consumerism, and religion. His massive installation Payatas, which features thousands of
doll heads, was chosen to represent the Philippines in the Singapore Biennale exhibition in
2013. It took him two-and-a-half years to finish this work.
REFLECTION:

Today, I have learned that minialism, found items, and large-scale painting are
among the various approaches used in contemporary art. Each of them gives a distinct
viewpoint to the creative world, and each is regarded as a contender for the most
significant method in modern art.

I can use what I have learned today, when there were times that I want to do
painting, by this I have an idea that I can use this as my gift to myself and to my love ones.
Also, using this kind of art will help me to express my feelings.
