‘BenCab in Multiples: A Print Retrospective’ is part of the yearlong celebration, BenCab 50 Creative Years
The word “multiples” relates to the ability of the printmaking process to produce original editions. Similarly, in the context of National Artist for Visual Arts Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera’s art practice, this word pertains to how he pursued and approached different themes and subjects in multiple takes, both in print and in painting, contemporizing his iconic images and at times adapting them to personal narratives and issues of the day.
