rubbercut on pelon textile, 36 inches x 18 inches, 2015
Depction of the Black Nazarene of Quiapo, one of the most
iconic religous images in the Filipino Catholic tradition. Because of
its location, its feast is one of the most attended religous events in
Manila. The icon is interesting because of its dark color which somehow
breaks the notion that saints are usually as racially white.
The black Nazarene is also a saint associated with the masses because of its phenomenal number of devotees.
Rubbercut, considered as a democratic medium because.of its
advantage to create multiple originals seems to be an appropriate
choice for this work.
