"Lukas Mourning"
Luksa sa dalampasigan ng kalawang na walang hugutan sa dugo
800+ politkal victims on galvanized sheet of unbreakable black moans. Needs cure on dead end notes. Daan taon ng kasaysayang naglalamay sa kape at sugaI. Walang asukal. Pinned down the drain on political assholes' undying Iove for nation. Agnas na ang patay.nag?alatitj na ang puso kong parang tamud na sumisirit sa tindi ng damdamin. Putangina may sa demonyo ka!!!!

You have to understand. Essentiaffy, Buen Calubayan does not exist. His existence purely depends on our perception of him. & all manners of perception are biased & manufactured. This bias is deftly played w/ by his manipulation of this classic genre: while portraiture is dependent on the rhetoric of minesis or reproduction of an original (let us say, the posing subject or to pic of the painting in the foreground), the painted product nonethless is arbitraily configured both by the artsts's hand & color-blindness, by his ideiosyncratic brushwork & gesturalinsanities. -Angelo V.
