The launch event was held last April 22 with the man himself, Mr. Bencab in attendance and its such an opportunity that I got invited on such a rare event. The exhibit features of his artworks on paper, clippings, sketches, portraits, portfolios and various art books published and never before seen items are displayed at the exhibit, among displayed are the iconic Soldiers of Fortune (Heroes of the Past), Sabel, Larawan and Japanese Women (ukiyo-e).

This will be the Lopez Museum & Library's last exhibit at Benpres Building as the latter will move to a bigger and better location, which is ironic that their first exhibit started was with Bencab as this last exhibit featured with him as well.
