帕西塔·阿巴德(Pacita Abad),菲律賓裔美國人,1946-2004年。
在她三十多年的職業生涯中,巡迴畫家帕西塔·阿巴德(Pacita Aad)以多姿多彩的繪畫、混合媒體拼貼而聞名。在華盛頓特區和紐約短暫學習繪畫之後,她週遊了世界80多個國家。阿巴德在亞洲、非洲和加勒比海的旅行和經歷對她的藝術作品產生了重大影響,她的題材很大程度上來自於她的個人經歷。在20世紀70年代和80年代,受本·沙恩(Ben Shahn)等社會現實主義畫家的影響,她創作了關於難民、農村村民和城市街頭場景的具象政治和社會紀錄片繪畫,後來又創作了關於部落面具的混合媒體繪畫。
阿巴德的風格不斷變化,因為她嘗試在各種各樣的材料上繪畫,包括版畫、紙漿紙、樹皮布、陶瓷、金屬和玻璃。在她職業生涯的最後20年裡,她在她的三維「龍舌蘭」繪畫中探索抽象。這些雕塑彩繪作品包括手工縫製的布料和裝飾品,融合了傳統圖案、布料、貝殼、紐扣和鏡子。她的最後一件重要作品是新加坡的一座55米長的人行天橋,上面全是五顏六色的圓圈圖案,就在她去世前幾個月完工,享年58歲。
