Photograph of Roberto Chabet's Piero, created in 1999.

In this work, Chabet hangs a parachute in between two shelves that form a crack on the surface of an ochre landscape, and juxtaposes it with a particular detail from Piero della Francesca's painting, Baptism of Christ - a male figure standing at the edge of the river, behind the central figures of Christ and St. John.

The enlarged male figure in Chabet's work is painted by his former student Gerardo Tan. The work was first shown at Yolanda Perez-Johnson's Soumak in 1999. The original olive green parachute was later changed to a red one.

This work is part of the exhibition, 'To Be Continued,' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Singapore - La Salle College of the Arts from 13 January - 11 February 2011. The work was also included in the same exhibition at Osage Kwun Tong in Hong Kong from 12 August - 21 September 2011 and at the Cultural Center of the Philippines from 19 January - 31 March 2012.

'To Be Continued' is a landmark survey exhibition of Chabet’s plywood works from 1984 to the present. In these works, he utilises his signature material – store-bought plywood boards. It is a material which has 'become not only the surface and support of his paintings and installations, but to a large extent its subject matter and content.'

The exhibition gathers for the first time significant works, including the seminal 1980s trilogy Russian Paintings, House Paintings, and Cargo and Decoy. Highlighting process and the provisional aspect of the material, it is reflective of Chabet’s practice, which gives precedence to the fugitive and contingent nature of art.

The exhibition is part of 'Roberto Chabet: Fifty Years,' a year-long series of exhibitions organised by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited in various venues in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Manila from 2011 - 2012.
