BARC (formerly known as Alexander Lansang, born in Jersey City is a multi-media artist using a cartoon dog to create visual narratives. BARC represents an alter-ego of the artist through which he uses active design, distinctive color combinations, and allegory in his artwork to depict a myriad of scenarios. BARC's work fuses his experience as a graphic designer, with his upbringing in urban environments, love of 90’s to early 00's cartoons and street culture. BARC the dog explores themes of chaos, trauma, and adventure through paintings, sculpture, toys, illustration, animation, and film.
