b. 1931 - d. 2005

Born in 1931 in the Philippines, artist and painter Ang Kiukok enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas in the Art Studies program. There he was taught and mentored by the esteemed Filipino Cubist painter and illustrator, Vicente Manansala. In the 1960s, Kiukok rose to fame in his home country. In 1962, Kiukok's painting Pieta won bronze in the 1st International Art Exhibition in Saigon. Some classified his controversial style as figurative expressionism. Artist Ang Kiukok's valuable artwork often displays enraged, screaming figures in chains. His abstracts also depict rabid dogs and the crucified Christ. However, other Ang Kiukok abstract paintings show the gentler side of the artist's work when the subject is a mother lovingly and protectively embracing her young child. Ang Kiukok’s Fishermen sold for $1.2 million in 2017. Find valuable abstract paintings online to proclaim your interest in Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism.
