Collaborative Emergence and the environment that surrounds it. By
applying various sociopolitical and cultural themes such as urban decay
resulting in poverty, overpopulation, and homelessness, the artists along with
their individual styles create visual tension in an attempt
The brothers Buen, Kris, and Frances Abrigo aim
to present their own interpretations of craftsmanship as influenced by the
physical form that constitutes the house
to represent how those issues challenge
creativity. They are highly influenced
by the improvisational culture that is brought
about by that which is inevitable--
the force of mother nature and that which is
uncertain--humankind.
As true craftsmen and masters of improvisation, the brothers
construct their art using the same carpentry techniques that are applied when
building a home. Individual styles brought about by different artistic
influences are curiously merged to depict the invention of emerging thought
patterns.
Opposing elements such as calculation and improvisation allow
the artists to explore the infinite possibilities of their craft using various
materials related to homebuilding such as wood and paper. The calculated risk
in the physical form is evident in
each art. Static images playfully translate into 3 dimensions as
an attempt to develop visual representations of intuitive motion. Finally, the
involvement of artistic simulacra in the intentional use of distortion is used
in an effort to reveal the obscure
truths in our society.
