WRITE UP:

Painter, potter, and also a poet, Laguna-born artist Jaime De
Guzman first majored in Economics at the Ateneo de Manila
University in 1961, but transferred to the University of Santo
Tomas to take up Painting. However, after two years, he felt
restless and began spending a year of traveling and painting in
Cebu, Samar, and Zamboanga. Returning to Manila, he enrolled
as a fine arts student at the University of the Philippines. Caught
by the art movement in his time, Expressionism, De Guzman
would translate modern man’s anxieties and other meta-issues
through his bold expressionist brushstrokes. His works are often
called “apocalyptic art”; as his art got more attention, he was
then selected to be part of the first Thirteen Artists show at the
CCP in 1970. Dark and surreal, De Guzman’s canvases are filled
with symbolisms and poetic abstractions described as sociohistorical-
psychological paintings.
In contrast to De Guzman’s angry and foreboding earlier works,
this 1993 work reveals the shift of his art-making from using a dark
palette and being preoccupied with issues of the human condition
to creating “lightscapes.” In the 1990s, he travelled to quaint places
such as Dumaguete, Vigan, and Sorsogon. It was also in this period
when he moved to the US with his family, producing Philippine and
Southeast Asian landscapes as well as autobiographical paintings.
