Mabini Art Project: 100 Paintings. 2009
Òleo sobre tela, varios marcos
Mabini art is a genre of conservative Filipino landscape painting associated with lowbrow commercial galleries that cater to the tourist market. As tourists in their own homeland, Alfredo and Isabel now see the Philippines in a different way, with a sense of displacement. They wanted to use Mabini paintings in their work, as objects of nostalgia and as reflections on the state of Philippine art. They began to converse with Antonio Calma, a Mabini artist, and soon persuaded their art dealer to commission him to make thousands of these landscape paintings. As their dealer peddles the paintings in art fairs and auctions around the world, Mabini landscape paintings are recontextualised and revalued.
