Thunder and Lightning (feat. Lapu-Lapu) - oil on canvas 24" x 32" by JBulaong 2016

Thunder and Lightning (feat. Lapu-Lapu) - oil on canvas 24" x 32" by JBulaong 2016

 

This stylized conceptual painting tries to depict Lapu-Lapu in an iconic stance. Noticeable is the kampilan sword held in a horizontal manner similar to a horizontal boom (those present in toll gates and subdivision vehicular gates) suggesting no entry or impregnability. As an outstanding barangay leader imbued with wisdom, like thunder & lightning, Lapu-Lapu is big news to the incoming colonizers. Other visual cues include sails, mangrove with boulders & the outline of a fish - which connote other aspects of his background.
