TCL, a global consumer electronics brand, one of the world’s top two TV brands, and the No.1 Panel TV in the Philippines, successfully unveiled its newest innovation, The TCL NXTFRAME TV. The “Seamless Art, Beyond Space” exhibit showcased the TV’s unique ability as a ‘living canvas’ to adapt and enhance the art in real time creating a truly immersive experience.
“Our aim for the whole exhibit is Blending Art and Technology. We chose Pop Art as an ideal theme because of its vibrant, visually engaging nature that attracts attention and creates a dynamic atmosphere. It blends art with consumer culture, aligning perfectly with the TCL Frame TV’s fusion of technology and artistic display,” TCL Brand Manager Joseph Cernitchez explains.
Four talented artists collaborated with TCL to transform the NXTFRAME TV into a canvas for their innovative artworks, elevating the viewing experience.
Chill is known for his dynamic and thought-provoking artwork that blends traditional Filipino culture with contemporary themes. Driven by a passion for urban expression, Chill has significantly contributed to the local art scene.
“I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be part of the TCL and Ronac Art collaboration. This project aligns perfectly with my artistic vision, and I’m excited to contribute to such a dynamic partnership,” says Chill.
He calls his artwork “A Gamer’s Journey: From Analog to Digital”. For someone, who grew up in a world where games, cartoons, anime, and movies were integral to his identity. From the simplest consoles of the ’90s to the latest technologies, his passion for these mediums was not just a pastime; it became the foundation of my art and character.
His piece reflects the evolution of technology and its impact on our lives. From classic games and cartoons that inspired me to modern gadgets that simplify our daily routines, Chill aims to express his appreciation for this developmental process. As he would put it, ‘My art is not just about nostalgia; it also conveys hope for future generations—a reminder that technology can be a tool for creativity and understanding.”
Reynold Dela Cruz is a talented Filipino contemporary artist, who draws inspiration from everyday life and creates artwork that reflects his aspirations, dreams, and desires. His works often feature subliminal messages, birds, flowers, animals, and other elements that illustrate different human characteristics.
He called his masterpiece for this collaboration, Different Vision showing how an image transcends the surface of a singular definition. His complex, multifaceted layering of many images upon one another shows how the general human perception is composed of interpretive layers that operate on different wavelengths to understand a concept.
Reynold testifies, “I am honored to have contributed to this groundbreaking exhibit. The opportunity to fuse my artistic vision with TCL’s cutting-edge technology was both stimulating and rewarding.”
For renowned pop-surreal visual artist RA Tijing, he was thrilled to see how his work will look on the NXTFRAME TV. His works often blend pop surrealism, contemporary art, and social realism, incorporating elements of magic and dreams to reflect reality and personal experiences.
“The TCL NXTFRAME TV gives vibrant colors and has a sleek design that creates a stunning visual experience that complements my paintings perfectly.”
He calls his exhibit, “BamBam and Friends”. Focusing on his Black Sheep character, and his experiences during his art residency in Europe. It also features stories about the friends that he made and even the delivery boys.
Ronson Culibrina, a talented Filipino contemporary artist who has gained recognition and exhibited his work both locally and internationally at such a young age. He has created his works as a by-product of his daily musings as a full-time artist and a father.
But his participation in the Seamless Art, Beyond Space exhibit, he had a different realization and eventually formed into a transformative experience. “TCL NXTFRAMETV transformed the gallery into a fusion of color and technology, where artist’s creation seamlessly blending into each space with immersive visuals”
