It is rare to find a collection of contemporary art so wide in its range and so provocative in its content that it can inspire a book. One of the most intriguing of its kind in the country, the collection of Carlos A. "Chuckie" Arellano, above, is at once engaging, challenging, and the intimate reflection of the passions of a decisive collector who has pursued the art that strikes his own eye.

The art works chosen for this book reveal and celebrate the creative spirit that has flourished throughout the archipelago. By remapping the boundaries of Philippine art, we meet artists working outside the principal centers-—Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao—and by knowing them, we encounter two surprises. The first is the remarkable number of Filipino artists who are almost unknown to the mainstream, and the second is the vitality, creativity, and quality of their work.
