Carlo Tanseco is on a roll. The artist formerly associated with retail, product and furniture design, and architecture—now famous for his paintings of meticulously painted background prints juxtaposed with iconic images that resonate with many– is ready to unveil his latest work.
Entitled “Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto” his coming show will showcase his love for Japanese art – primarily toys that were the craze in his childhood. “It’s all that kids talked about and looked forward to at one time. It certainly was that way for me.” Carlo says that the element of transformation of these robot toys, how one can turn them from several things into one robot, and vise-versa, most probably influenced his interest in architecture, which he had later decided to major in. What makes them more personal is that he actually had these toys and spent hours at a time immersed in playing with them or in religiously watching their animated shows.
Although he still has his robot toys, “in storage somewhere,” he drew mostly from memory combined with a style which to him embodies the Japanese aesthetic and the way they had presented these robots. For the patterns and the 3-D sculptural pieces, he says, “I studied their other crafts as well–Imari porcelain and their textile.”
