MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines 1965). "Virsicht Natur", ca. 1990's. Oil on canvas.
Est: €6,000 - €7,000
MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines 1965). "Virsicht Natur", ca. 1990's. Oil on canvas. Measurements: 165 x 126 cm. Manuel Ocampo developed in the nineties a subversive iconography, impregnated with sarcasm, in which he linked veiled comments on the colonial legacy of Catholicism in his native Philippines with U.S. imperialist policies. In this painting, ferocious jaws open up showing inside them crosses from Orthodox and Catholic churches, leaving little doubt about the underlying critique of the violence that has been inflicted on peoples in the name of religion. His comments are never literal, however, for they underlie many layers of reading. Enfant terrible of contemporary art, he would soon be claimed by museums and galleries around the world. Manuel Ocampo is considered the most important Filipino artist today. His painting, labeled by the media as "devastating", "brutal" and "fierce", undergoes frequent strategic changes in response to new contexts and subjects of study, and is influenced by Punk and cartoons. He works mainly from his hometown, although he has also been based in other places such as California, Seville or Luxembourg. He has made numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, highlighting: 2018, Yes, Sir/Ma'am! No, Sir/Ma'am! Right Away, Sir/Ma'am! at Tyler Rollins Fine Art (NYC); 2017, Oeuvres: 1994 - 2016, Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris; 2017, Hello! Belle Peinture: Thinking of the Beginning of the End of the Death of Painting, Nosbaum Reding Art Contemporain, Luxembourg; 2016, The Corrections, Finale Art File, Makati, Philippines; or in 2016, Sweating the Green Parrot Out, Marie Kirkegaard Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Provenance : Fred Hofman Gallery, Santa Monica Acquis auprès de cette dernière par l'actuel propriétaire FR Manuel Ocampo est un provocateur, un peintre qui prend la transgression comme compagnon de palette. Il veut que l’art dérange. Son oeuvre est celle d’un faiseur d’images prolifique qui jette les choses à la face du monde dans un geste plein de panache et avec un talent nourri au sein du grotesque. Corrosives et réjouissantes, ses oeuvres se heurtent et se fragmentent, libérant une énergie anarchique et bousculant les interdits. La satire est incessante et toutes les représentations du pouvoir sont l’objet d’un détournement burlesque, d’une inversion (et d’une subversion) parodique: les pelouses interdites de l’histoire, de la morale ou de la culture sont foulées au pied avec une insolence rafraîchissante. Ses toiles ne sont pas partisanes, elles ne portent pas de revendication politique particulière. Elles tirent sur tout ce qui bouge, ou plutôt, sur tout ce qui stagne et s’ankylose. Elles adoptent une attitude anarchique et insoumise, toujours burlesque, faite d’univers mélangés: BD, art naïf, Trash comics, esthétique de l’ex voto, référence à Duchamp, à Bacon, aux images de l’iconographie chrétienne ou à l’imagerie politique. EN Manuel Ocampo is a provocateur, a painter who takes transgression as his palette companion. He wants art to disturb. His work is that of a prolific image-maker who throws things in the face of the world in a gesture full of panache and with a talent nurtured within the grotesque. Corrosive and delightful, his works collide and fragment, releasing anarchic energy and upsetting the forbidden. Satire is relentless, and all representations of power are the object of burlesque detour, parodic inversion (and subversion): the forbidden lawns of history, morality and culture are trampled underfoot with refreshing insolence. His canvases are not partisan, nor do they make any particular political claims. They shoot at everything that moves, or rather, at everything that stagnates and becomes ankylosed. They adopt an anarchic and rebellious attitude, always burlesque, made up of mixed universes: comics, naive art, trash comics, ex voto aesthetics, references to Duchamp, Bacon, Christian iconography or political imagery.

Mama signed (lower left) oil on canvas 64” x 48” (505 cm x 122 cm) WRITE UPRenowned for his unparalleled artistic vision, Manuel Ocampo stands as a true trailblazer within the realm of Philippine art, captivating global audiences and embodying the essence of the nation’s creative prowess on the international stage. Stretching back to the early 1990s, Ocampo’s artistic journey has been marked by a consistent and remarkable presence in international exhibitions, captivating audiences across Spain, France, Germany, Mexico, and the United States. His impact goes beyond galleries, as he has also established his prominence in renowned international fairs including those in Basel, Miami, and Berlin, amplifying his influence. Ocampo’s art carries a captivating array of allegorical elements and symbolism, a tool he adeptly wields to challenge conventional norms while inviting viewers to engage with his unique narrative. Through his canvases, a tapestry of irreverent and kitschy imagery unfolds, effectively bridging the gap between his intricate concepts and a more accessible visual language. This approach fosters a deeper understanding and direct connection with the viewer, making his art a multi-layered experience that appeals to a wide audience. (Jed Daya)

MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines, 1965). "Headache". Mixed media on cardboard. Size: 45 x 38 cm; 63 x 63 cm (frame). Manuel Ocampo is the "enfant terrible" of current art. A polemic artist, but claimed by museums and galleries all over the world, he unfolds an irreverent cosmogony through which he directly criticises the weight of Catholicism in his native Philippines. American cultural monopoly and imperialism is also treated with intelligent humour in his paintings. In this case, Lucifer lashes out with a large cross at a sleepless worshipper. Next to him, a photograph of the Saviour tries, unsuccessfully, to guide him on the path to salvation. It is characteristic of his work to juxtapose expressionist traces and references to popular culture, as can be seen in this work.

MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines, 1965). "The compensatory motif of the libidinal economy of painter's bad conscience", 2001. Oil on canvas. Signed on the reverse. With label of the OMR gallery, Mexico City, on the back. Size: 121,6 x 91,5 cm. Hidden behind a Mexican wrestling mask, with swastikas on his bare arm and Luciferian wings, this pop singer with a necklace of skulls gathers on his body a compendium of symbols emptied of meaning by the impossible mixture that short-circuits any simple interpretation. "Minima Moralia", the title that accompanies the figure, refers to the essay by Theodor Adorno, a courageous book in which the author analysed what capitalism inherited from Nazism. In the field of painting, Manuel Ocampo has also been doing the same thing in the field of painting. Popular culture references abound in the expressionist-pop work of this Filipino artist. "The Compensatory Motif in the Libidinal Economy of a Painter's Bad Conscience" (2001) is a work from his early period, when he became known in the art world for his "grunge" frankness in discussing the moral dilemmas of modern society. As part of an exhibition in Mexico City (the OMR gallery dedicated several shows to him), the nods to Mexican popular culture were evident. Manuel Ocampo, from his first exhibitions in the 1990s, earned the nickname of "enfant terrible" of contemporary art. His painting, described by the media as "devastating", "brutal" and "ferocious", undergoes frequent strategic changes in response to new contexts and subjects, and is influenced by punk and cartoons. He works mainly from his hometown, although he has also been based in other places such as California, Seville or Luxembourg.

MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines, 1965). "God is my co-pilot". 1997. Mixed media on canvas. Signed on the back.
Est: €30,000 - €35,000
MANUEL OCAMPO (Quezon City, Philippines, 1965). "God is my co-pilot". 1997. Mixed media on canvas. Signed on the back. Size: 250 x 195 cm. Manuel Ocampo is the "enfant terrible" of current art. A polemic artist, but demanded by museums and galleries all over the world, he displays an irreverent cosmogony through which he directly criticises the weight of Catholicism in his native Philippines. American cultural monopoly and imperialism is also treated with intelligent humour in his paintings. In this case, the characters gathered around a table (a witch and her henchmen) allegorise the abuses of power in the name of religion. It is characteristic of his approach to juxtapose expressionist traces and references to popular culture. Manuel Ocampo is considered the most important Filipino artist today. His painting, described by the media as "devastating", "brutal" and "ferocious", undergoes frequent strategic shifts in response to new contexts and subject matter, and is influenced by Punk and cartoons. He works mainly from his hometown, although he has also been based in other places such as California, Seville or Luxembourg. He has had numerous national and international exhibitions, including: 2018, Yes, Sir/Ma'am! No, Sir/Ma'am! Right Away, Sir/Ma'am! at Tyler Rollins Fine Art (NYC); 2017, Oeuvres: 1994 - 2016, Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris; 2017, Hello!

Est: ₱800,000 - ₱1,040,000
Manuel Ocampo (b. 1965) Eeeeeee 2014 oil on canvas 50" x 50" (127 cm x 127 cm) PROVENANCE Manifesto Gallerie Manuel Ocampo’s works are generally reflective of presentday culture, often giving off an unsettling and shocking effect to the viewer. He believes that an artist’s duty is to his or her creation and maturity shows when one is not much preoccupied anymore about what people think or how they explain a certain work. Instead of being drawn to sole meaning, he is driven by the urge to create, to deliver. He unconventionally depicts cultural and religious figures and symbols as a way of garnering an immediate emotional response from the viewer. But beyond the inherent shock value of his works lies a much deeper and complex commentary on contemporary life. In this untitled oil on canvas piece Ocampo presents us with his take on what appears to be the still-life genre. But instead of the usual subject matter typically found in still-life works, Ocampo’s frame features religious and cultural items, objects, and symbols. These are placed on top of a table-like structure shaped like a 6-pointed star or a hexagram. While the manner in which the structure is presented is seemingly welcoming or inviting the viewer to partake in what it has to offer. Ocampo’s work can be read as a commentary and critique on the place commodities and consumption are situated within contemporary life. His use of religious and cultural symbols alludes to the seemingly ritualistic and divine nature of these materials, effectively commenting on the nature of such objects. (J.D.)

Manuel Ocampo (b. 1965) Otto Dix, The Artworld, 1972 signed and dated 1998 (lower left) oil on canvas 48" x 36" (122 cm x 91 cm) P 300,000 PROVENANCE Archivo 1984 Gallery Manuel Ocampo visually echoes the artistic practice of the acclaimed German expressionist painter Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix in this 1998 oil on canvas painting. Otto Dix depicted the inhumane realities of German society during the Weimar Republic and the brutalities of the two world wars. As with Otto Dix, Ocampo portrays the concrete situation of sex work in a globalized society. Employing a satirical approach, the artist exposes modern-day enslavement and human trafficking committed and sustained by an imperialist power. The female figures representing three races show their dependency on a sailor symbolizing the American Navy. The women’s subservience to the male figure depicts male chauvinism. Machismo – brainwashing men into thinking they are entitled to whatever they want – sustains this culture of oppression and exploitation. Combined with the seemingly inescapable shackles of neoliberal globalization – a consequence of imperialism – Ocampo enlightens his viewer to the commodification of women that has only become more rewarding for the unabashed perpetrators. In line with Ocampo’s message, we live in a society where sexual violence towards women and other minority groups is normalized. Most conversations surrounding trafficking shift the blame towards the victims, showing a power imbalance between the violator and the violated. This turns a blind eye to the harsh reality of the victims struggling with poverty, leaving them to the necessity of “selling” themselves to earn a livelihood.

Santa Monica, CA. 1998. p. 188. Zinampan D. “The Devil You Know.” Art Asia Pacific . Issue 103. May-June 2017. Sydney, AU. pp. 102-103. As one of the most unique and inventive voices in Philippine art today, visual auteur Manuel Ocampo has become the poster child of Philippine art on the international stage. Since the beginning of the 90s, Ocampo has regularly exhibited his works internationally; specifically in Spain, France, Germany, Mexico, and the United States. Beyond that, he has also been known to feature in international fairs in Basel, Miami, and Berlin, among others. Ocampo’s art features a myriad of tantalizing allegory and symbolism that seek to subvert and engage. His canvases are often populated with irreverent and kitschy images, effectively grounding them to a much more understandable and direct visual experience. In February 2017, a showcase of Ocampo’s earliest works was exhibited at the Archivo 1984 Gallery in Makati, providing the general public with the occasion to juxtapose his contemporary pieces from his works during his initial venture into art when his creations were dominated by a menacing atmosphere. This piece is the earliest existing work by Ocampo in the market. According to the artist, he made this three months after arriving in Los Angeles. Evocative of the style of American painter Robert Rauschenberg’s combination of collaged found objects, Ocampo presents the viewer with an assemblage of images and iconography all done in his distinctly irreverent style. The work is sectioned into four general parts, with three smaller sections placed on the right which seemingly complements the central image that takes up a sizable portion of the piece’s right side. The surface of the canvas depicts a decapitated man, several buildings, a church, and a silhouette, with a jar, a denim jacket, and a rag complementing the whole composition. The images themselves adhere to Ocampo’s distinctly eccentric aesthetic that combines elements of both pop and naive art—from a crudely drawn silhouette of what appears to be a church to a sketch of a headless body with its groin area covered by an oddly mundane pitcher. The artist presents us with a chaotic yet apt reflection of the human condition in a postmodern society. Although characterized as an eccentric piece in his oeuvre, You Better Watch Out displays Ocampo’s initial experimentation and nonconformity to orthodox art standards.
