Alan Davie (1920–2014) Drawing inspiration from references ranging from Abstract Expressionism to global traditional art, Alan Davie’s eclectic oeuvre reflects his interest in Zen Buddhism, Jungian psychoanalysis, and jazz music. Davie represented Britain at the São Paulo Bienal in 1963, and retrospectives of his work were held at the Barbican Centre in 1993 and Tate St Ives in 2003. Davie was awarded a traveling scholarship from his alma mater Edinburgh College in 1941, but his plans were delayed until the end of World War II. Following his military service, he traveled to Italy in 1948, where he encountered works by Renaissance masters in Florence and Arezzo; in Venice he was introduced to Peggy Guggenheim’s preeminent collection of American modernism. Particularly influenced by Jackson Pollock’s intuitive style of painting, Davie sought to free himself from premeditated markmaking. His process was inspired by improvisational jazz and his interest in Carl Jung’s vision of a collective unconscious. Depicting archetypal symbols and recurring shapes, his work conjures primal, mystical associations.

 Roberto Chabet (1937–2013) was a renowned Filipino conceptual artist, teacher, and curator, who played a key role in the development of Philippine contemporary art. Through his expanded art practice, he supported and nurtured the artistic development of several generations of Filipino artists, from his contemporaries in the 1960s and 1970s to his numerous students at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts.
He is highly regarded for his experimental works, ranging from sculptures and installations made from everyday and found materials, to paintings, drawings and collages. He was the founding Museum Director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) from 1967–70 and subsequently led the alternative artist group Shop 6. He taught for more than thirty years at the University of the Philippines while continuing to be involved with artist-run spaces in Manila. Chabet’s sculptures often drew on and extended conceptual ideas of relational and serial structures, using materials such as plywood for their association with the rebuilding of Manila after it was bombed at the end of World War Two, and implicating the body of the viewer into an experience of the work in space.
