In RG Habulan's works, "Dogmatic I" and "Dogmatic II" are paintings that merge abstraction and figuration, evoking themes of colonialism and contradiction. Each work presents a figure in a relaxed yet observant pose, accompanied by a loyal companion — a steadfast symbol of trust and allegiance.
These hybridized figures serve as complex markers of identity, where disparate elements collide and coalesce. The works reflect the multifaceted crises of Filipino identity, shaped by the country's long and turbulent colonial history. Through deliberate juxtapositions, the paintings constellate the contradictions inherent in a nation perpetually negotiating its cultural inheritance.
