Manuel Ocampo: Pilipinas

Pilipinas
1990
Acrylic on Canvas

       In Pilipinas (O'Bathala), a black Satanic figure is restrained from a pink house labeled "Pilipinas' by a giant, dismembered hand. Tossed around in giant turquoise waves, the pink house is surrounded by floating skulls and tree branches. Iconic and simple, this odd imagery compels the viewer to ask questions. No answers are forthcoming, for Ocampo is a master at establishing an emotional limbo filled with turmoil.
