CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Contemporary art is the term used for art of the present
day. Usually the artists are alive and still making work.

Contemporary art is often about ideas and concerns,


rather than solely the aesthetic
(the look of the work).

.
Artists try different ways of experimenting with ideas and
materials.
Contemporary artists use whatever they think illustrates
their idea most appropriately. Nowadays artists have many
different methods and materials to use. Some use painting
and drawing but there is also photography, sculpture, film,
new media, live performance, light, sound and installation.
Contemporary art is therefore very varied.

visual arts, literary arts and performing arts. Visual art is
an expression of artistic ideas through images,
structures, 9 and tactile work. Some visual artworks are
integrated which means it combines several mediums to
create new and unique artwork. Painting, sculpture,

architecture, and film are examples of visual arts.

SKULLS AND BUTTERFLIES
Andres Barrioquinto’s multi-awarded work is both striking and
unforgettable, and his iconic and surreal painting style has
made him successful in the local and international art scenes.
Barrioquinto’s work is notable for its use of juxtaposition and
scale. His portraits are famously a mix of the monochrome and
the technicolor. With his subjects in black and white framed by
an explosion of color, his paintings assault the senses and leave
viewers reeling. While the mainstream perspective on art is that
it must be beautiful, Barrioquinto challenges old perspectives
and brings you up close and personal with the strange and
imperfect. His painting Skulls and Butterflies pulled in HKD
620,000 at an auction, almost 15 times its asking price.

GARAPATA
Dex Fernandez is a rising name among young artists in the Philippines, and
it’s immediately evident why. Perhaps best known for his cartoonish, many-
legged subject “Garapata,” Fernandez’s work is playful and street-smart,
bringing a modern sensibility to many of Manila’s galleries. He studied Fine
Art and Advertising at the Technological University of the Philippines before
working as a graphic designer. He’s had solo exhibitions in the Philippines
and the United States, as well as group exhibitions in France, Singapore, the
United States, and the Philippines.

Fernandez’s work makes use of the urban landscape as a canvas, bringing art
out of staid white galleries and into the daily lives of commuters. His
Garapata stickers are a well-known sight around Manila and even abroad.
Besides his illustration, he’s also worked in mixed media, photomanipulation,
mural painting, and other styles. Fernandez’s pieces like to mix the mundane
in with the surreal, making each of his artworks an instant visual playground
SLIDESMANIA

for the viewer. Although he is currently based in Caloocan City, you can find
his works, and Garapata, in metropolises all over the world.
BEAR
Yasmin Sison-Ching is a Filipina visual artist whose work lingers with you
long after you’ve turned away. Born in 1972 in Cavite, she took up a
degree in Humanities and Fine Arts and graduated from the University of
the Philippines, later taking a second degree in Painting from 1994-1997
and a Masters in Art Education in 2001. Her work Bear fetched the highest
price at the Borobudur auction in Singapore in 2008, and she has been
exhibited in Malaysia, Italy, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, Singapore,
Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
Sison-Ching’s early work centered on abstract expressionism. Her gestural
paintings included bright splashes of color and expressionist figures that
lacked both form and identity. She then moved on to representational
imagery, distinctive for her unflinching portrayal of her subjects. In
particular, her series on children in all their moods showed her skill at
drawing out the emotions of her subjects. This perceptiveness and
connection with viewers have made her a standout in the Philippine art
SLIDESMANIA

scene, and a favorite among collectors.
