EROTICA GALLEY

We think that the gallery is a representation of him being a feminist like that of his previous subject Sabel but this is more focused towards passion. His artworks portray sensuality in its essence. These paintings represent everything related to sexuality and physical desires.

CORDILLERA GALLERY

The Cordillera Gallery – is a repository of the artist’s collection of tribal artifacts and indigenous crafts of the northern Philippine highlands.

Different versions of "Sabel" ( Favorite Muse)

• Homage to Sabel 9, 2002

• BenCab's 32 Variations On Sabel, glaze on mariwasa tiles.

• Sabel in Hiding, 2009

Sabel was a street person aka taong grasa found by Bencab in Tondo. She is one of his major subjects which we think represents life's hardships and cruelty. Basically what poverty in life can do to a person.

The bulul/bulol represent the Ifugao rice granary gods in the Philippines. It is kept in the house or granary and  represents wealth happiness, wealth and well-being. It also represents the culture of the Ifugao's
