It's hypnotizing the way a woman's breast curves, this nakedness immortalized on paper. I wonder what it would be like if society has not imprinted in us that such a sight is shameful or embarrasing. When such sight does not evoke lust or sinister thoughts.
I admit I don't have much enthusiasm for other Bencab pieces (matter of preference....*dodges bricks*), not the same way I love his nude drawings. His forms are so natural and beautiful. Now that I think about it, is it my love for Anatomy classes that had me obsessed with the nude form? I remember prowling the halls of the Bencab Museum spending half the time in the Erotica section. haha

More of his familiar work. Retracing our heritage on paper.
The exhibition presents BenCab’s recreation of his installation done in Bandung, Indonesia in 1998 as a result of his collaboration with other Southeast-Asian artists for a workshop on Urbanisation. The installation is a reflection on urbanization and a critique of present-day environmental dilemmas. -UP Vargas
