The Last Supper

i was comissioned to do this christian scene. he told me to make my version of the last supper in watercolor.

i googled the images right away. i didn't want to make too many changes or make it 'realistic' because this was comissioned work and i didn't want the guy who asked me to change his perception so i had to work in a conventional way. i even changed mary magdalene into a man just to follow the tradition.

one thing i changed though was that i made some apostles middle eastern looking instead of all white.



i thought of botong francisco, H.R. ocampo, manansala and francisco v. coching while doing this project. they were the ones close to what i can achieve. of cource pablo did the first cube-style art but i noticed the emergence and difference of the pinoy style cubism. it was more flowing and playful. i didn't exactly understand how this happened but i guess it was the muslim-art influence in us pinoys. the jeepney is a good example.

i specially love h. r. ocampo's work at the cultural center of the philippines but botong is my main man on this piece.

hey pare, this is pretty psychedelic, i think. re: cubism, i think instead of stained glass window art? and also, it's very cool you didn't make the apostles white/european looking.
