Bakawan 1974

"Bakawan" is a 1974 installation piece by Roberto Chabet (1937-2013), showcasing a series of minimalist, vertically arranged, black sculptures in an otherwise empty room. This work exemplifies Chabet's interest in the relationship between art and space, presenting a stark and introspective experience. The sculptures themselves are reminiscent of tree trunks or pillars, suggesting a connection to nature and the artist's fascination with natural forms. The sparse environment emphasizes the sculptures' presence, creating a minimalist and contemplative atmosphere.
