There is man sitting with his arms crossed, defiant even as paint is splashed and splattered across his face. This is a manifestation of anger, one of the seven deadly sins, in Filipino artist Anton Mallari’s oil and acrylic on canvas work.
In his element, Mallari wields complete control over this painting, doing as he likes to the figure who has nowhere to run and hide – unlike in real life, where the evil and corrupt roam free.
