TRNZ

A Study on Quiet Disguises

TRNZ (ti – ar – ɛn – zi) was introduced to art through locally dubbed Japanese animation airing daily on ‘90s television, influencing the graphic nature of his work. He is a visual artist with a penchant for misarrangement, repetition, and subtle anomalies, borrowing the meanings of the tangible and putting them in a place where they’re not supposed to be.

The logical world cannot make sense of them, and yet the absurdity – grasping it – allows them to be placed right where they are supposed to be.


 

 

CARLO TANSECO

RIZAL in the PARK

For Art in the Park 2025, Carlo Tanseco reintroduces a pivotal work from his critically acclaimed Rizal Matchbox series, marking the first time in two years that a piece from this collection has been exhibited.

Titled “Rizal Matchbox: Liyaban ang Apoy ng Kagitingan (Mid-Open – Red),” this work represents a significant evolution within the series. It is the first of its kind at this particular size to be released by the artist, further expanding the visual and conceptual language of the collection. Executed in acrylic on box canvas, this singular piece will be the only Rizal Matchbox painting available at this year’s edition of Art in the Park.

In keeping with the fair’s commitment to making art more accessible to a broader audience, Tanseco will also offer a limited edition of giclée prints based on the work. Only 20 prints will be produced exclusively for this event.
