New Icon: Pop in Asia (In A Relationship)

My artwork for "New Icon: Pop In Asia" exhibition is called "In A Relationship". It shows a boy and girl holding hands, determined not to let physical distance get in their way. It symbolizes the relations of Asian countries that remain close, though they are separated by vast seas and distances. The colorful patterns allude to Asean’s diversity.



I had a great time meeting with all the artists and making new friends.

Popular (or Pop) Culture, is no longer something to look down upon. Today, pop culture has not only expanded, it has elevated itself. Through mass media it has become part of our daily life, examined seriously by academicians. Meanwhile, contemporary artists—in this case, visual artists—voraciously consume and present them in their works. Included amongst these artists are contemporary artists from Asian countries.
The exhibition New Icon: Pop in Asia will present works by Asian artists inspired and influenced by pop culture. The artists combine images and mass media mechanisms, and transform them into various styles. The exhibition does not only explore the differences in each artist’s sensibilities and styles, but is also aimed to increase the connection and mutual collaboration amongst them.
In cooperation with Komunitas Salihara, ARCOLABS (Center for Art and Community Management), Surya University, Tangerang, organizes this exhibition as the first of their international exchange program. ARCOLABS also works together with the Mission of the Republic of Korea to ASEAN to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ASEAN-the Republic of Korea dialogue relations.
Visual Jalanan Interview

I was interviewed for Visual Jalanan which is a blog that captures just about everything happening in the streets including street art and artists. Here is their video on the interview they had with me.
Manifesto No.4: Input to Output

My installation art for Manifesto No.4 "Keseharian: Mencandra Tanda-tanda Masa" at Galeri Nasional Indonesia. I used daily objects that felt close to me representing my daily routine as my input. Then I hid them away by painting them over in white. This shows that the input has been processed. After that, I painted it over again showing the output.






Start From Scratch

I participated for Start From Scratch exhibition. An initiative by young individuals that have real passion in arts. They remind me of myself a few years ago where it was a real struggle to exhibit artworks in galleries. So making own artshows were the only option. Keep on struggling, kids. Show it to the world!

Big shout out to Syahed for pulling such an awesome art performance at the show. Big ups!
