Notes

Buen Calubayan’s ‘blasphemous phase’ has offered viewers a peep into the inner workings of the artist’s mind — putting on display Calubayan’s faith continuum. In this series, Calubayan’s style — reminiscent of the late works of the English Romantic landscape artist J.M.W. Turner — comes with what appear to be captions; autobiographical accounts and entries as if to journalize his experiences, memories, and thoughts. The texts, superimposed on each painting, serve as leitmotif to the works individually, as well as collectively as a series. The concurrence of the artist’s experiencing self, mixed with his remembering self, has produced this interior scene. The text, which reads ‘The Archive,’ followed by a listing of subjects, topics, and book titles — presumably accounting for material in the archive — could very well be speaking of the influencing literature and ideologies behind Calubayan’s oeuvre. This 2014 work sheds light on the artist’s influences and interests, as we are given a glimpse of the things that peek Calubayan’s curiosity. Notable is his selection of themes and literature, as novels like “The Promise of The Foreign,” “Brave New World,” “Pasyon and Revolution,” among others, take on ideas and concepts of society, history, and morality — while themes like science, philosophy, and etc. inform us of the broader concepts that concern the artist concurrently
