In line with the ML@50 campaign, this exhibition showcases pen and ink works by Edgar Doctor reflective of the artist’s memories and experiences during Martial Law. These drawings evoke only a fraction of the emotions, strife, and grueling times that thousands have faced under the 14-year-long regime.
As an artist, Doctor found the need to document the crimes and unjust violations through his work, specifically through pen and ink. The never-before-seen works highly contrast Doctor’s usual practice of genre and landscape watercolor paintings. Its timely presentation makes the series even more meaningful for the artist. The exhibit also serves as a reminder of the history Martial Law holds, in that it should never be forgotten.
Non-Ateneo guests are required to register for campus entry at bit.ly/VisitAAG.
