Discover Filipino Visual Art Mastery: CCP and BenCab Museum Present ‘Visions on Paper’ and ‘Chronicles in Ink’ Exhibitions


 The Cultural Center of the Philippines, in partnership with the BenCab Museum, launches two new exhibitions: Visions on Paper and Chronicles in Ink: Philippine Printmaking through the Decades, opening at the BenCab Museum’s Sepia Gallery and Gallery Indigo, respectively. These exhibitions will be on view until September 2024.

Both traveling exhibitions aim to showcase significant works by Filipino visual artists from the CCP 21st Century Art Museum (21AM) Collection. Organized by the CCP Visual Arts and Museum Division with support from the BenCab Museum, this exhibition program is part of the CCP’s ongoing effort to make its collection accessible to a wider audience while the CCP Main Theater Building undergoes rehabilitation.

Visions on Paper, exhibited at the BenCab Museum’s Sepia Gallery, presents selected works by National Artists of the Philippines. Exploring quieter forms of abstraction, portraiture, and rhythmic composition, the exhibition highlights the artists’ creative processes through works on paper. Sketches reveal thoughts and ideas transferred onto paper, offering insights into the artists' inner worlds. Featured works include a self-portrait by National Artist for Visual Art BenCab and National Artist for Literature Amado Hernandez’s words inscribed on National Artist for Theater and Music Atang de la Rama’s wooden fan.


In the BenCab Museum’s Gallery Indigo, the exhibition Chronicles in Ink: Philippine Printmaking through the Decades showcases a sampling of contemporary printmaking art in the Philippines. Spanning works from the 1950s to the 2010s, the exhibition visualizes the range of artistic expressions and practices of generations of Filipino artists who have made significant contributions to Philippine printmaking.

The participating artists include National Artists Benedicto "BenCab" Cabrera, Felipe de Leon, Atang de la Rama, Victorio Edades, Amado Hernandez, Jose Joya, Arturo Luz, H.R. Ocampo, and Guillermo Tolentino.

The works of various other artists are also showcased, including Jose Garcia Villa, Joseph Abando, Ambie Abaño, Raymundo Albano, Ivi Avellana-Cosio, Virgilio Aviado, Santiago Bose, Mars Bugaoan, Benjie Cabangis, Benjamin Torrado Cabrera, Jandy Carvajal, Florencio B. Concepcion, Evelyn David, Cian Dayrit, Fil Delacruz, Noell El Farol, Imelda Cajipe Endaya, Josefina Escudero, Brenda Fajardo, Lynden Garcia, Ofelia Gelvezon-Tequi, Bernadette Gular-Becares, Ojeng Jocano, Flora Mauleon, Omar Noble, Romulo Olazo, Nonon Padilla, Rod Paras-Perez, Rhoda Recto, Cenon Rivera, Manuel Rodriguez Sr., Marcelino Rodriguez, Rodolfo Samonte, Danny Sola, Manuel Soriano, Des Tenorio, and Efren Zaragoza.


In addition to the exhibitions, CCP and BenCab Museum will host public programs such as guided tours and printmaking workshops organized in partnership with the Association of Pinoyprintmakers. These programs aim to familiarize the public with different forms of art-making while broadening their appreciation for Philippine art and culture.

Both exhibitions opened on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 4:00 PM at the BenCab Museum. Visions on Paper at Sepia Gallery will run until September 1, 2024, while Chronicles in Ink: Philippine Printmaking through the Decades at Gallery Indigo will run until September 29, 2024.
