    About the Artist:


    Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera

    Filipino painter Benedicto Reyes Cabrera, also known as "BenCab," received the National
    Artist of the Philippines for Visual Arts (Painting) award in 2006. He is also known as the as a
    master of contemporary Philippine art, and a known pioneer for contemporary arts in the the
    Philippines.

    On April 10, 1942, Democrito Cabrera and Isabel Reyes had BenCab at Malabon,
    Philippines. The youngest of nine children, he was the youngest among his siblings. BenCab's
    older brother Salvador, who was already a renowned artist when BenCab was a child, was the
    source of his first exposure to and discovery of the arts.

    He has held numerous exhibitions as a painter and printer not only in the Philippines but
    also in Asia, Europe, and the US. In a four-decade career, he has received numerous significant
    artistic honors. He was awarded the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining in 1992. (Cultural Center of the
    Philippines Award for the Arts).
    Why did I choose
    BenCab’s work
    “CRISIS IN
    HUMANITY”?
    I chose this artwork
    because it shows Cabrera's
    opposition to the period of
    resurgent fascism and blatant
    historical revisionism in this
    artwork. This artwork also
    focuses on the humanitarian
    issue that we are currently
    experiencing, particularly in
    the Philippines, where some
    people still have colonial
    mindsets ingrained in them
    despite the fact that we have
    severed links with our
    conquerors a long time ago.
    The poor, the uneducated, and
    the mistreated are some of the
    persons who might be most
    impacted by a humanitarian
    crisis; their absurd and
    dreadful faces suggest that
    they are pleading for
    assistance.

    Every person faces a daily struggle, no matter how small or significant; it is a necessary
    that we cannot function without. The human race is depicted in this painting in a state of chaos
    that is difficult for us to even comprehend. This is not because the painting is poorly produced or
    that it doesn't want to be understood, but rather because it is intricately constructed. This painting
    depicts society; it has too many faces and heads for us to consider, but we'll never know what
    these individuals are thinking about—not just for themselves, but also for the society as a whole,
    as sometimes people are the issue, the ones who would undermine others for their own benefit.

    This artwork really resonates with these times, during an age where sickness flows
    through the air and evildoers run the streets of the Philippines. We might just be one of the many
    people in the painting who are affected by this crisis.
