A sense of oddity and wonder permeates through
Louie Cordero’s whimsical works. In his oeuvre, Cordero
displays his mastery of contemporary art expression –
from street art to pop surrealism and graphic design.
In recent years, Cordero’s works have slowly veered
away from figurative and allegorical representation to
a constructivist abstraction. The outcome is a distinct
composition forming an amalgamation of distorted
figures with cubist influences and a patchwork of
peculiar elements and tropical landscapes. In this
piece, Cordero’s interpretation of environmental
deterioration, as represented by the piles of material
wastes dumped into a body of water and the ravaged
surroundings, is rendered in a style that converges
pop surrealism and psychedelic art. Cordero evokes
a timely message: abuse of the living world comes at
the expense of the degradation of our own humanity.
Through his art, Cordero persuades us to awaken our
empathy and sow the seeds of collective action against
the real culprits behind contemporary problems, which
the artist has constantly insinuated in his art.
In Wasak: Filipino Art Today, Cordero’s art was
described as having “an air of ambiguity” where “a
world that is often described as bizarre or riotous,
and sometimes even grotesque or abject” is the
commanding element of the entirety of the canvas.
In addition, Alice Guillermo describes Cordero’s art
as “corrosive candy pop.” Guillermo expounds: “Louie
Cordero follows in the wake of Ocampo, although he
has worked before on his own. More importantly, he
has devised his own style out of the possibilities that
have been opened. His art springs from an explosive
mélange of dada, surrealism, pop, comics and
Japanese manga; familiar idioms, yes, but in his
hands taking an astonishing turn.”
