BENEDICTO "BONG" DUCAT

PHILIPPINES

Born on May 6, 1957 in Tondo, Manila, Benedicto “Bong” Ducat is a Filipino painter noted for his Pointillist style of painting. He credits the late Philippine Women’s University (PWU) Fine Arts program director Ibarra De la Rosa for his influence on this painting technique of using tiny dots of distinct colors to create an illusion of form.

Ducat earned his degree in painting at the University of Sto. Tomas’ College of Architecture and Fine Arts where he was conferred the prestigious Benavides Civic Award. He later took his master's at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. At one point Ducat has taught painting at the Technological University of the Philippines and at the Philippine Women’s University and is currently a professor at the University of Santo Tomas College of Fine Arts and Design. Ducat is noted for his depiction of nature, rendering plants, trees, and flowers skillfully executed in his signature droplet - like strokes and in vibrant colors. His lotus flower series for one are not the “prim and proper” usual types we see. Ducat’s interpretation exudes youth; they elicit positive vibes with its spirited shades and hues, and are devoid of boredom. Likewise his Birds of Paradise series is an eye candy so to speak. There is so much life to the artwork one could feel the artist’s energy and state of mind while crafting the oeuvre. In Ducat’s Antipolo landscape series, the artist’s attention to details is evident: the mixture and gradation of colors, the consistency in his brush strokes. The painting squeals of liberation – the wide expanse of the landscape captured vividly by Ducat’s hand alluding peace and tranquility. The strokes are smooth and clean, executed to perfection. And of course, the gabi leaves - the simple life cycle of the humble gabi leaf as it begins to bloom evokes spiritual fascination among its audience. How Ducat is able to play out mysticism in his works is what sets him apart as an artist. Over the years as well as in keeping with the times, Bong Ducat has shifted his focus from pointillist painting to semi - cubist depictions of still life in the path of Modernist art masters like Vicente Manansala.
