CONTEMPORARY ARTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Region is an art produced at the present period in
time. In vernacular English, “modern” and “contemporary” are synonyms, resulting in some
conflation of the terms “modern art” and “contemporary art” by non-specialists.
According to Leo Benesa (2015), modern or contemporary art, although a by-word for
decades in the Western world, is a phenomenon of the post-war period in the Philippines. This is
not meant to detract from the yeoman efforts of Victorio Edades, Carlos Francisco and Galo
Ocampo, who were known as the ‘Triumvirate’ in progressive art circles of the pre-war period.
The art of these three men was indeed contemporary in intention and direction, but their role was

more needed historical and transitional rather than iconoclastic. A new group was needed
negotiate the actual aesthetic breakaway from the established canon to the abstract, expressionist,
symbolist and other modes of creative expression characteristic of the art of the modern world.

Contemporary artists working within the postmodern movement reject the concept of
mainstream art and embrace the notion of “artistic pluralism,” the acceptance of a variety of
artistic intentions and styles. Whether influenced by or grounded in performance art, pop art,
Minimalism, conceptual art, or video, contemporary artists pull from an infinite variety of
materials, sources, and styles to create art. For this reason, it is difficult to briefly summarize and
accurately reflect the complexity of concepts and materials used by contemporary artists. This
overview highlights a few of the contemporary artists whose work is on view at the Getty
Museum and the concepts they explore in their work.
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
1. BALANCE
It is distribution of interest or visual weight in a work. Balance has
three types namely asymmetric, symmetric and radial or random.
2. CONTRAST
The difference in quality between two instances of an
art elements, or using opposing qualities next to
each other. Like for example, white-black, rough-
smooth.

3. EMPHASIS, DOMINANCE & FOCAL POINT

Emphasis is created by visually reinforcing something we want
the viewers to pay attention. Focal points are areas of interest
of viewers’ eyes skip to. The strongest focal point with greatest
visual weight is the dominant element of the work. Elements of
secondary importance could be term sub-dominant and
element with the least importance is subordinate.
4. HARMONY & UNITY

Harmonious elements have a logical relationship or
progression-in some way they work together and complement
each other. Unity is created by using harmonious similarity and
repetition, continuance, proximity and alignment.
5. MOVEMENT
Using art elements to direct a viewers’ eye along a path
through the artwork, and/or to show movement, action and direction.
Also, giving some elements the ability to be moved or move on
their own, via internal or external power.
6. REPETITION, RHYTHM & PATTERN

Repeating art elements in regular or cyclical fashion to create
interest, movement and/ harmony and unity. Rhythms can be
random, regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive. Classes of
pattern include mosaics, lattices, spirals, meanders, weaves,
symmetry and fractals among others.
7. PROPORTION & SCALE

Proportion is the relationship of sizes between
different parts of a work. In order to maintain
such proportion, a beginner artist may use the
grid and scale.
