The idyllic pastoral scenes that once dominated the artists’ canvases were gradually changed to fragmented and abstract compositions. Nevertheless, despite this shift in style, many of the subjects of these works remained the same: the Philippines and the Filipinos. One of the awardees of the inaugural Thirteen Artist Awards by the CCP in 1970, Angelito Antonio was among the most influential artists who embraced Modernism; his canvases always boast of his compelling love and affection for the Philippines.<br /><br /> Painted in 1985, this masterpiece captures a scene before a cockfight, a recurring theme in Antonio’s work. Two native folks, possibly preparing for a match, are depicted, one smoking tobacco while holding and conditioning his rooster. Inherently Filipino, this oil on canvas work is a vivid portrayal of the allure of provincial life and culture, sabong or cockfighting being one of the infamous leisurely activities in the countryside. A canvas filled with geometric planes and bright, kaleidoscopic hues contrasted by black outlines and shadows, Sabong is undoubtedly crafted by Antonio’s expert hands, perfectly demonstrating his exceptional artistry, befitting the country’s last pillars of Modernism.
