In this body of work, Gabriel Tiongson approaches painting as an immersive and deeply physical engagement with the canvas. Each surface becomes a site of negotiation—shaped through cycles of learning, failure, excess, reduction, destruction, and renewal. His abstract compositions emerge through a continual tension between control and spontaneity, where the act of painting itself becomes inseparable from the finished work.

Gabriel Tiongson, known as Diko among family and friends, began his artistic journey in the vibrant surroundings of Iloilo City, Philippines, during the 1990s. His early visual language was shaped by television, cartoons, toys, and computer games—influences that found their way onto notebooks, textbooks, and any surface that invited his creative impulse.

Though he initially hoped to study fine arts after secondary school, circumstances led him to pursue Physical Therapy instead. In 2010, a chance encounter redirected his path: encouraged by a friend, he presented his drawings to a gallery in Makati City. That pivotal moment immersed him in Manila's dynamic art scene and set his practice in motion.

In 2014, Tiongson relocated to Auckland, New Zealand, seeking formal training in the visual arts. He completed a Master's degree in Creative Practice, a period that shifted his approach from representational work toward more abstract forms. His early output consisted primarily of character drawings rendered in ink on paper; over time, paint entered his process. Throughout this evolution, certain constants have defined his style: rounded forms, vivid synthetic colour, and fluid, continuous line.

In early 2025, Tiongson relocated once more, settling in Perth, Western Australia, drawn by a change of pace, lifestyle, and the promise of new exploration. As he planted roots in unfamiliar soil, his art practice entered a period of quiet—a necessary pause while life took precedence. By the fourth quarter of that year, he began warming up the creative muscle again, preparing for Surface Tension.

Life does not announce itself as it spreads. And in Ikea Rizalon’s The Bird and the Pollen, her exhibition of recent works, the artist treats that fact as impetus blossoming.  

Rizalon’s paintings hold you in that in-between state, where things are still forming but already in motion. A bird, rendered with careful attention, sits beside an orange mass. Elsewhere, cattle appear in orderly rows, each body slightly different, as if variation itself were the subject. Then there is the figure, turned away, surrounded by foliage. Flowers, lemons, trees, and birds in flight over fields, offering refreshing vistas, reminding us that, yes, it’s still a wonderful world. There is life beyond rectangular screens and the work cubicles we often find ourselves inhabiting.

Pinky Ibarra Urmaza's work, "United States of Anxiety," is on view at the Long Island Biennial now.

Collage 8 x 24 2026

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." These words from George Orwell's book 1984 still resonate decades later. Such propaganda and manipulation of language continue to be used by authority to control its citizens. The right to intellectual freedom is
challenged by recent book banning attempts across the country. My collage is a grid of burned book covers, a reconfigured map of a country alarmingly moving towards censorship and conformity. It is my response against ongoing attempts to limit access to diverse perspectives and historical/cultural information - all of which should be part of one's right to "Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness.."

"Just Powers: Long Island Biennial 2026" opens today (May 16) at the Heckscher Museum. It will be on view until September 13, 2026.

A plague of chronic crises looms over us. The geopolitical carnage of genocidal wars, the chasm of socioeconomic disparities, and the cultural and moral decay of a disconnected society have become the defining patterns of our time. It breeds a silent epidemic of anxiety and hopelessness—shadows that grow in the quiet corners of our homes. These sufferings are often repressed in private or suppressed when brought to light, alluding us into believing that such is the way of a perfectly functioning world.

Truths, however, refuse to be buried. They inevitably bleed into the subconscious, compelling the hand to pick up a paintbrush as an act of both survival and resistance. The exhibition Little Dark Age reveals an uncomfortable but necessary exposé of our current state of affairs, seen through the eyes of Cil Flores. Within this modern-day dystopia, her works become a visceral response that documents the collective coping mechanisms of those around her as well the landscape of her own survival.

The quiet resistance lies in the word “little.” This defiant prefix offers a sliver of light against the weight of the “dark age” it describes. It is a reminder that even in the deepest despair, hope persists. This, then, begs the question: where does one draw the strength to hope?

The exposé of Little Dark Age reveals the voids within our society. It is through the recognition of our denied humanity and refusal of the present can hope truly flourish and a future begin to take shape. Such a future is not a gift to be begged from the heavens, but a reality we make ourselves.

Little Dark Age is on view until June 3.

Fragments of Why reflects on the enduring question of why: why we continue, create, and connect. Through this series of works, the exhibition presents Kiko Moran’s personal narratives that explore existence, meaning, and the quiet forces that sustain everyday life. Drawing from lived experiences, he considers themes of resilience, reflection, and perseverance within the complexities of the contemporary world.

These works are his attempts at answering those questions and are shaped by the discoveries he has unearthed through deep introspection. “They are fragments of narratives I wish to share: probing existence itself while revealing the fragile, ordinary, yet resilient reasons that have sustained me.”

In creating this body of work, Moran journeyed inward, roaming through the labyrinth of his own being to search for his Why. What you see here are the fragments of what he has found.

Surface Tension

In this body of work, Gabriel Tiongson approaches painting as an immersive and deeply physical engagement with the canvas. Each surface becomes a site of negotiation—shaped through cycles of learning, failure, excess, reduction, destruction, and renewal. His abstract compositions emerge through a continual tension between control and spontaneity, where the act of painting itself becomes inseparable from the finished work.

Drawing remains central to Tiongson’s practice, embedded within layers of gestural marks, fluid linework, and spontaneous inscriptions. Processes of pouring, swiping, dragging, and obscuring paint create shifting strata of surface and memory, allowing earlier decisions to re-emerge through accidental encounters and material disruption. Sweeps of spray paint activate the composition with bursts of synthetic color, while passages of gray, black, and white provide moments of pause and visual rest.

Recurring bulbous forms press against sharp edges and fractured geometries, generating a dynamic interplay between softness and tautness, movement and restraint. Elsewhere, black linear markings resemble illegible handwriting or compulsive notebook scribbles—traces of thought suspended between language and abstraction. Cracked and shattered surfaces further emphasize the materiality of the works, evoking cycles of pressure, rupture, and release.

For Tiongson, the painted surface is never merely an image but a record of process, action, and transformation. These works invite viewers into an evolving terrain where gesture, accident, and intuition converge, revealing painting as both a physical journey and an ongoing act of discovery.

Surface Tension is on view until June 3.
