Item Overview

Description

Ian Fabro (b. 1993)
And You Shall Be Delivered
2015
pen and ink, staple wire

On-the-rise Filipino contemporary artist Ian Fabro, the youngest
artist to be included in the landmark survey on the Philippine
Contemporary Art WASAK in Berlin and Singapore, has a
special interest for the ball pen and the staple wire. In his captivating
and highly expressive art, these materials are made integral; Fabro
is mostly recognized for his large-scale pen-and-ink drawings with
staple wires depicting anguish and torture, religious scenes and acts
of martyrdom. These are all rendered with a keen selection of colors,
often dark—almost nightmarish in depiction yet striking at best.

He is known for reinterpreting narratives—usually age-old myths
and stories, even biblical references—with such skill and persistence,
producing figurative or abstract works of arresting, disquieting beauty.
“I grew up in San Mateo, Rizal. It has a big influence on my work
[which] can range from simple doodles of a child to a death of a loved
one. These images and emotions, together with the process, lays the
foundation and gives direction to each piece I create,” he said.

This piece, a representation of San Miguel Archangel, the patron saint
of San Miguel de Allende, was part of Ian Fabro’s Hurt Anatomies
series exhibited in his 2015 first one-man show at Art Informal. The
series was inspired by Spanish Baroque painters and the darkness
and intensity of their works, capturing the spirit of the said era, also
featured as Fabro was one of the finalists of the 2016 Ateneo Art
Awards. Accompanied by celebrated Filipina poet Mookie Lacuesta’s
piece titled “Severities,” Fabro gives us a dark representation in
which viewers are introduced to his expressive strokes and crowded
elongated forms, also bringing into recollection scenes from classic
myths or Western art history, iconography, and literature. Inherent is
a sense of revelation to a poignant narrative. An overwhelming event
or scene becomes the focus when it comes to the University of the
Philippines-educated artist’s pieces. The violence of beauty permeates
in his canvases, yet the mystical qualities of his works bring viewers
closer to divinity and sense of humanity, much-appreciated in the
current times.

In 2017, Fabro held his solo show titled “The Arrow of Time in the Heart of the Sun” at the
UP Vargas Museum. A featured artist in the
Art Fair Philippines 2019, he exhibited thrice in the Art Basel Hong
Kong in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
