"Woman"
Inday Cadapan
oil on canvas - 32 Inches x 42 Inches
|
Inday is not too keen on romanticizing the past but chooses to preset the realities of the present in a stylized form. Cadapan engages the viewer by letting her women stare at them directly as if challenging the beholder to explore the deeper recesses of her being. She gained prominence because of her graphic images rendered in bold strokes of colors. She is bound by her love for art-desire to uplift the lives of Filipino women. It is her wish to make the world a kinder place for women and secure a better future for the next generation--not just by painting an idealized picture of Filipino womanhood but by exposing the truth in a highly stylized rendition of pain and suffering.
