Flower Vendors signed and dated 1987 (lower right) oil on canvas 30 3/4" x 30 3/4" (78 cm x 78 cm) Leon Gallery wishes to thank Mr. Neil Salita for confirming the authenticity of this lot The faceless characters of Oscar Salita have left an indelible fascination for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. A lover of the Filipino theme, Salita’s canvases teem with folk motifs done in his unique style of cubism and impressionism with his signature faceless figures. With his 1987 Flower Vendors, Salita depicts a pair of faceless young women dressed in simple but colorful traditional Filipino dresses. They hold a lovely bouquet of flowers in their hands, vibrant and bright in the same way as the figures are. There is vivacity to this pair, a vision of the youth that Salita successfully translates only through colors and shapes. His figurative abstractions “evoke a mysterious aura [that] made the viewer search for hidden meanings behind those faceless [figures],” as said by Asst. Prof. Mary Ann Venturina Bulanadi writes in Oscar Salita: A Thomasian Artist Who Gave A Distinct Character To Faceless Paintings. Indeed, Flower Vendors contains just enough details to hook its viewers in with just enough mystery to keep them interested. “They could have been suggestions for the viewer to “participate” in his painting,” Bulanadi says, “and as they were, they stood out as his meaningful and significant contributions to Philippine art.” Indeed, the works of Oscar Salita are visually striking in their simplicity, putting into the forefront his mastery of minimalism and cubism and his ability to evoke the most complex of emotions through a simple stroke of a brush.

OSCAR SALITA, FILIPINO ARTIST. OIL ON CANVAS “MARINESCAPE”, SIGNED, FRAMED.
Est: -
Oscar Salita, Filipino artist. Oil on canvas “Marinescape”, signed, framed. Size: 49 x 58 cm. (19.3 x 22.8 inches) Born to a family originally from Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines on July 4, 1945, as a child in Fourth Grade, Oscar had his early exposure to the arts through wood carving that he learned through a Santo Nino artisan in his hometown. He recognizes Quiapo Manila, though, as his birthplace. His interests in the arts were nurtured through the years until he finished BFA, major in Advertising in 1966. As he pursued his Fine Arts studies at the UST, he was mentored by the eminent group known as the Pioneer Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Santo Tomas, such as Alejandro Celis, Diosdado M. Lorenzo, Vicente Manansala, and Galo Ocampo, and prominent professors as Cenon Rivera , Leon Pacunayen , Larry Tronco , Maning Rodriguez, Roberto Chabet. As a result of this he was included in the Next Generation Moderns of UST. It was also during his years at the UST when he diverted his style toward Filipiniana culture and influence. At the UST, he was with Aro Soriano, Tiny Nuyda , Raul Isidro, Ed Castrillo, Tam Austria, Danny Dalena. He flourished within the Golden Era of Art in the Philippines. He formed a group with his fellow artists at the UST, known as the Starving Artists. To underline the significance of his particular style of painting faceless figures in his paintings, he recounted a true story wherein he was requested by the organizer of the Valle Verde country club where he had his exhibit to paint figures with faces. And so he did. His paintings were sold, however, after two weeks, the art collectors requested him to have the faces erased! That is why, this explains why he painted faces on his paintings only for this instance. His style evolved to a mix of impressionism and cubism. He learned through all the different places he’d visited, as well as the varied clientele that he served including the foreign dignitaries who he had encouraged to collect Philippine art then. From a simple, unplanned way with which his art career unfolded and flourished, we still learn from this Next Generation Thomasian a simple statement : “ Art comes from the brain, then flows to the heart, to the hands.” He passed away on March 6, 2012. And he left a legacy from which we can all learn. For with his style of art, the absence of faces made him convey a presence and impact that is truly full of character.
