Item Overview

Description

Jeff Dizon (b.1954)
The Rape of my Mother (Homage and my Country)
A strongly theatrical tableau layout characterizes this social realist masterpiece by Jeff Dizon. Dizon sought to express the true social conditions of the nation, under the yoke of dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos to the greater international community blinded by state sponsored propaganda during this period while in political exile in Mexico. In his subsequent personal note on this work addressed to the private collector of this work dated the 28th of January 1990, he makes a personal dedication on this work: “In dedication as a Filipino artist, I made up to conceptualize my eager & seemingly devotion from my [own] blood to portray’s my mother’s country.” In a stage like setting of an agitated effect, the figures are sprawled feverishly, creating a highly agitated rhythm throughout the composition. In this attempt at social realism, the strong linear rhythms, the robust earthy harmonies, were evidently of well considered design.
These figures are twisting, reaching, bending, and grasping: all of which portrays his subjects engaged in a great deal of physical and aggressive action fleeing from the unseen cast aimed to silence their dissent through an array of mediums at their personal disposal. In here, Dizon artistically captures the plight of the nation with all its horrors, as powerful, capable, forceful and compelling.
