Notes

Art can never be imagined without grappling with the plasticityof the material world. This sets the parameters and possibilitiesof what an artwork can be or can’t be. It either limits the artistor sets him soaring to the sky. This is precisely what Allan Cosiodeals with as an artist — “What artwork can I do with thismaterial?” And at times the tables are turned — “To whatextent can this material’s plasticity bring to fruition this image inhis head?” This piece is a glimpse of Cosio’s struggles and journeyfocusing of course in the decade when he won the Pollock-KrasnerGrant and the grand prize for Sculpture in the Art Association of thePhilippines (AAP).It is a painting of an oblique view of a sculpture he did that is withthe CCP and currently on exhibit for the Saturday Group Gold show(Celebrating 50 years in Art). With just yellow and black paint, herecreated—in a 2-dimensional painting — a 3-dimensional piece ofwork. It was just the essentials, no fuss no mas, it just can’t get anysimpler. The actual sculpture entitled “Tuwangan” is a massive opusof intersecting wood pieces that look very much like a 3-D puzzle.The notches and and the angles make the intersections trickier than it looks.All through Allan Cosio’s decades-long artistic practice, he has alluded to symbols of virility and strength that merge with forms of simplicity andlinearity, all this decisively dominate his sought-after works. Considered as one of Philippines’ most prodigious artists, his body of work, whichstraddles abstraction, sculpture, and portraiture. His artistic signature, an established trademark that merges the impressionistic and sometimesthe geometric. His compositions are elegant and exuberant with substance and an undeniable command in space and color. Cosio’s works havebeen exhibited in the US, Europe, and as many other Asian countries. He has received grants from the British Council and the Pollock-KrasnerFoundation of New York. He was also awarded the rank of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 1986, his “Art for Peace” trilogy wona major prize at the International Competition in Baghdad.
