When I was in grade school, our teacher used to give us half a piece of potato to carve on the flat side any shape we wished using a spoon or a plastic knife. We dipped the carved part on a sponge soaked with food coloring and stamped the potato on a colored paper. The result was unpredictable and spontaneous. Nevertheless, what came out on the colored paper was considered a sort of simple treasure. Something to be kept for posterity- a piece of art I can never duplicate. Mom would pinch me on the cheek and tell me that I was such an artist. This was my first encounter with printmaking. Little did I know, this simple kiddie art activity would be my first fond memory of printmaking. In college, I pursued fine arts where you can encounter people using the simplest of mediums in creating amazing visual works. It was really inspiring. One lady caught my attention. Using dried leaves and mundane objects, she was able to create interesting colorful compositions by inking them and pressing them on paper. It was not as naive as the potato stamps that I used to make as a child. It was very skillful. She became my teacher and friend. This was my second encounter with this art form called printmaking. Now I am taking my time to learn this art form. Some say it’s a vocation, a sort of calling. More than a process, it will lead you to a journey more spiritual in nature.
Printmaking is not only based on skill or how good one can render or draw, one also needs a lot of patience and perseverance to be called a “printmaker”. The process is very meticulous, almost meditative. Through this art form, I was able to meet prominent and respected artists in the Philippines. They say that most artists will delve into printmaking in their lifetime but only a few will remain as printmakers. “Many are called but few are chosen” as they usually say. Among the “chosen few” who pursued the less travelled path of printmaking are Manuel Rodriguez, Sr, Virgilio “Pandy” Aviado, Manuel Rodriguez, Sr., Bencab, Raul Isidro, Benjie Torrado Cabrera, Fil Delacruz, Brenda Fajardo, Ambie Abaňo and Ofelia Gelvezon-Tequi . Although few , these noted artists certainly enriched Philippine art by integrating this art form with their various artistic pursuits.
In printmaking, you find your own “calling”. Each printmaker chooses his specific process, creating his own mark in the field . Fil Delacruz had made his mark creating sensuous women in lithograph while Benjie Torrado Cabrera creates organic abstractions in engraving. Fulfillment comes to those who explore the various process of printmaking. One can compare this to a spiritual journey where you can find enlightenment. Even though diverse in their chosen paths, printmakers have a strong bond with each other. Printmakers have established humble organizations here and abroad.
One organization continues to propagate and uphold the tradition of printmaking in the country -The Philippine Association of Printmakers. In its almost 50 years of existence, it continues to educate people from all walks of life by holding workshops and exhibitions of multiple originals to promote the art form and subsequently to democratize art. It was founded in 1968 through the pioneering efforts of Manuel Rodriguez, Sr., along with Adiel Arevalo and other printmakers he mentored. For decades, the association has devoted itself to promote printmaking and bring art to the people. As one printmaker would put it, “to the printmaker, the vocation is art, the discipline is the art form, and the mission is bringing art to the world”. The PAP, as it is fondly called, with the help of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, now permanently holds its studio at the back of the Folk Arts Theater. In 2001, it was conferred with the Dangal ng Haraya Lifetime Achievement Award for Cultural Promotions by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
Beyond the various processes, printmaking is an art form- a medium for self- expression. The possibilities of utilizing printmaking are endless. In contemporary art practice, printmakers like Pandy Aviado , Imelda Cajipe-Endaya, and Benjie Torrado Cabrera have further extended printmaking in sculptural and installation works using wood, plexiglass and found objects. Ambie Abaňo, Ling Quisumbing and Joey Cobcobo utilize relief printing on handmade paper and three dimensional surfaces. It is very important to be familiar with the different printmaking processes in order to explore the various possibilities of creating prints.
Printmaking is a unique art form in that it involves the process of transferring images from a prepared matrix onto the final material Perhaps many of us have heard of printmaking but are not aware of its process and elements. ground, commonly, but not limited to paper. In woodcut for instance, an artist makes a drawing on a piece of woodblock and by cutting out the background he separates the printing and non-printing areas. He then applies ink using a hand held rubber roller and transfers the image onto paper by applying pressure through simple rubbing – pretty much like rubber stamping. Since the matrix (the cut woodblock) is permanent, the process can be repeated allowing the possibility of creating multiple originals and variation prints!
Each print is considered an original art form because it is done completely by hand. With multiple originals, an artwork can have farther reach. It can be exhibited at various places at the same time and more people can acquire it at the same time. Because it is done in editions, prints are very affordable compared to other art mediums. Truly, it is people friendly – a very democratic art form! To someone who is starting an art collection, it is best to start with original fine prints.
Through printmaking, I have met my closest peers, one thing I am very thankful for. Although a less travelled artistic path, printmaking also has its personal merits. To a printmaker, each print he or she produces is unique in its kind. Even a limited edition holds nuances in each print. Just like twin siblings have unique characteristics, so does each and every print. The result is always unpredictable. As a grown-up, still I remember my first memory of printmaking as a child. Even today when I attempt to create rubbercut prints, I am still thrilled with the results. As Pablo Picasso puts it, “ Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up”. Perhaps one of the magic of printmaking is that you never really grow out of it but you grow old with it. In life we search for our true calling. Perhaps I am still searching for my personal direction. I am happy I took this path to printmaking. Beyond the art works and the camaraderie, the personal realizations I have gained are priceless.

I try to explore creating my images on uneven surfaces such as a commercially available shirt. This would give my paintings a new characteristic. This would also allow my work to be versatile and mobile and not be limited to a wall bound,two dimensional format.

TutoK Exhibits at Blanc, November to December 2008:
"TutoKKK: Krisis, Kalunasan... Anong K Mo?"
TutoK is about visual artists collaborating for advocacy. In celebration of its third year this 2008, it is holding its annual exhibit at Blanc's spaces in Mandaluyong and Makati with almost 200 artists contributing new works on the theme of crisis: probing into its metaphors and transmutations as it collectively forms an active stance beyond resistance.
Primarily conceived as a recount of a crisis-laden period, "TutoKKK" is also an invitation towards a more in-depth scrutiny of pressing issues. Crisis marks a point of instability in the same way that it highlights a turning point: we are in a crucial moment where decisions will and have to be made.
Paintings, sculptures, installations and residual performance comprise the initial salvo to be held at the Blanc Compound in Mandaluyong from November 25 to December 10. A flow of wall-bound works in uniform format will dominate the space, interspersed with sculptures and assemblages of objects that overall, will interact with the action and residue of live art performances. The high point will be an Artists' Reception on Sunday, November 30 with performances and other events starting at 4:00pm. The party will go on till evening with music provided by various bands.
Coming next is an installation of works on paper by the same artists at Blanc Art Space Makati from December 6 to 31. Using various media, but also following a uniform format, these vignettes on crises will also be the basis of an installation/performance that will echo the outcry and ephemera of paper. The exhibit will open on Saturday, December 6 with performance starting at 7:00pm.
"TutoKKK" is presented in partnership with Blanc, and is jointly curated by Noel Soler Cuizon, Buen Calubayan, Jef Carnay, Mark Salvatus and Wesley Valenzuela. TutoK is grateful to PAG-IBiG, Utterly Art, and Mr. Julius Babao for their support.

Boxed is a group exhibition initiated by Jaime Pacena II
boXed 2008 relives the erotic stories often only concealed behind the corners of your wall.
It's about the sensual subconscious—the real and the unreal…
revolving, evolving and dying, decomposing and living once again.
It talks about the taboo of the inner world as we create a whole universe of sensitivity.
A universe of stories told and untold.
About BOXED:
Boxed is an art exhibition showcasing artworks by artists from different disciplines, mostly living in Manila.
It is a gathering of artists. It is a reason to hangout and exchange ideas, principles, and bodies of works as well as to mingle and have a good chat during an art exhibition.
Boxed started last May 2006 at Big Sky Mind. Its second offering was staged at The Cultural
Center of the Philippines last April of 2007.
Boxed does not go by any significant statement. It is
not an organization or an artist Group. It is simply an artists’
initiative.
Through Boxed, networks are expanded by meeting different
people and different worlds, thereby creating one unified
universe.
Boxed defies the saying ‘think out of the box.’ More often than not, the most creative ideas spring when a true artist is boxed.

Schizophrenia
A person is multifaceted.
One’s personality is not defined by just one aspect of a person’s life.
A person may be spiritual, sensual, or irrational at the same time.
These characteristics not only define our personality but makes us unique from any other individual.
Each person has its own concept of reality. A reality that he or she may only understand.
This exhibition investigates emotions, imagery, memory and personality patterns. The creation of realities beyond the conventional. Storytelling from the eyes of a child. Whispers from a child within. Screams from the mind. Dreams and fantasies we create. We have our own angels and demons, stop and listen.
From the process of drawing, the artist attempts to create narratives from diverse sources of images. The artist utilizes imagery from various fields such as religion, sexuality and popular culture and plays with them in order to create tensions and nuances on their meanings.
It is hoped that the exhibition would inspire the viewer to explore his own persona through observing and interpreting the different visual elements in the space.
