|  | Words are hard to grasp to describe the works of Tatong but I was able to conjure some : Magnificent, over the top, art that conveys greater meaning...No mere representations, they are rich images that have provoked the artists mind during his childhood.
Accompanied by a faerie tale by Palanca Awardee Angelo Suarez, based on a story the artist conjured to entertain himself as a child, this show pushes the boundaries of what an art show is.

[Canvas/chapter 1: "Six-Legged supreme Collector"] Not once upon a time could the supreme Collector see,not once upon a time could the supreme Collector walk. Though none of her six legs were of any use, she could float from place to space with the ease of a young insect. Nor were any of her eyes of good use either, though this was far from meaning she had no sense of sight. For the balloons psychically connected to her had their eyes always open, plump cyclopean bubbles filled with honey and helium—a rotund and rubbery bauble each, a non-crystal ball that granted her vision. But gifted as she was with maximum mobility (not to mention the spotlight that followed her anywhere), she was prone to losing things: from keys to complexion, and even her mind.

Once upon a time she lost a button. Once upon a time she lost her temper. But if there was one thing the Collector wouldn't let herself lose, it was a fight—especially one wrought by old envy. For if there was something she couldn't collect, it was what the Fairest of Them All possessed: a name in the superlative, no less than in the name of beauty. But what the Fairest didn't have was the Collector's flawless sense of fashion, exceptional in subtle pomp even the haute-couture circles of Paris, Milan, and Cainta secretly admired. (All the Fairest's mediocre attempts at chic attire had failed.) No surpise then that when one of the two fat cyclops discovered that their lady's button had been stolen by the Fairest, the Collector was glad: Finally, she had a reason to rip the ghastly face off the head of that "pretentious albino slut, clitless fashion-whore-wannabe" (her words from an interview by Tondo Style Quarterly.) "She gives albinos a bad name," she continued, paraphrasing Bon Jovi. spotlightdilemma Paintings by Tatong Racheta Torres Faerie Tale by Angelo Suarez
