    Philippine Contemporary Art explores new subjects and mediums to express Filipino identity. It allows for experimentation and is not confined to traditional notions of space and format. Contemporary artists also aim to directly engage spectators.

    Philippine Contemporary Art has become more expressive and aggressive over time as artists use different arts to portray Filipino life. It has also moved from galleries and studios into public spaces. New art forms are constantly being developed as part of the Philippine art scene.

    According to Leon Benesa, Filipino art depicts everyday scenes and surroundings in a realistic way that captures the Filipino spirit and land. He considers Fernando Amorsolo's landscapes as truly embodying Filipino ethos.

    PHILIPPINE

    CONTEMPORARY
    ART
    Dr. Patrick Flores

     Describes Philippine Contemporary


    art with “The feeling that all is
    possible in the contemporary,
    conceived as a constantly extending
    and deepening constellation of art.”
    Philippine Contemporary Art
     Permits possibilities of exploring either
    the subject or medium in art to express
    the Filipino sense of self.
     You may not belief it, but everyday, new

    art forms are being created in our country


    that are becoming part of the
    contemporary art production of the
    Philippines.
    Philippine Contemporary Art

     At present, Filipinos are becoming


    more and more aggressive as they
    use the arts to express themselves
    and create wonderful artworks that
    try to capture the Filipino way of life.
    Philippine Contemporary Art

     Contemporary artists have brought


    their artworks into the street, in
    public, because in contemporary
    times, the main feature of any art
    primarily depends on how the art is
    able to connect with spectators.
    Philippine Contemporary Art

     Can be found even in the most


    unsuspecting places. It cannot be
    reduced to conventional notions
    of space and medium.
    Contemporary art allows Filipino
    artists to portray the subject and
    the medium in innovative and
    skillful ways, reflecting Filipino
    identity.
    PHILIPPINE ART AS A
    FILIPINO
     Many scholars debate on the identity of
    art produced by Filipinos. Are they 100 %
    authentic Philippine art? Are the
    landscape painting of Fernando Amorsolo
    or the historical depictions of Carlos
    “Botong” Francisco genuinely Filipino?
     This speculation on the “Filipino-ness” of
    works by Filipino artists is caused by our
    colonial history and migrant reality. The
    influences brought by the Spaniards,
    Americans, and other Asian countries has
    become part of or identity that is evident
    in our art: Spanish-inspired architecture,
    American-influenced poetry and music
    and so on.
     The migrant reality of
    globalization also shaped
    Philippine art. Across the world,
    Filipinos have adapted to foreign
    culture.
    LEO BENESA
    A Filipino poet, essayist and art critic,
    who said that there is certain characteristic
    of Filipino art.
    “The idea was that the depiction of scenes
    of everyday life and the surroundings
    without idealizing them was closest in the
    spirit to the Filipino soul and native soil.”
    An art can be considered
    Filipino art when it
    depicts the Filipino way of
    living.
    Benesa

     He describes Amorsolo’s works


    as the “most expensive of the
    ethos of the race and the
    predominantly agricultural
    countryside.”
     As times are quickly changing, brought
    about by the advancement in information
    technology and communication, the
    identity of the Filipino in the arts is one
    that is constantly struggling and
    evolving.
