One of the surviving panels of Angel Flores' four-paneled acrylic on canvas with zippers painting, Three Paintings and One Drawing. The four-paneled painting includes three acrylic paintings with zippers, in violet, orange, and pink, and a blank canvas.
The work is part of a series of zipper paintings created by the artist around 1965, when he was living in New York. It refers to the slashed paintings of artist Lucio Fontana.
The work was included in 'Summer Exhibition' at Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), curated by Roberto Chabet in 1970, and in the survey curated by Ray Albano, 'A Decade of Developmental Art,' also at the CCP, in 1979.
'Angel Flores' was an fictional persona co-created by Benjamin Bautista, Ramon Katigbak, and 'Angel Flores Jr.' — Roberto Chabet — who was the artist of all the works created.
