BenCab: A Selection of Prints by National Artist Benedicto Cabrera

Sabel: The Formative Visions (1980–1999)

A collection tracing the early evolution of BenCab’s iconic muse, Sabel, through two transformative decades. The grouping highlights both compositional discipline and growing abstraction, from the genesis portrait Sabel Covering Her Face (1980) to the boundary-pushing Untitled (1999). This would be a suitable collector’s capsule of early experimentation and stylistic growth.
