Bazaar Art Jakarta 2013: Offside

Offside is part of the Special Sections at Bazaar Art Jakarta showing art from young contemporary artists using different mediums as their expression and influenced by historical works in understanding also expanding their medium in becoming their strengths. As for me, it is obvious enough that I am influenced by graffiti of the hip-hop culture shown in two of my works exhibited there. Never Not Thinking and Secret Weapon.

With Mall Art, Bazaar Art Jakarta shows various artworks from artists. It is intended to shock the visitors with art that is not usually seen inside malls. The theme was Unity. So I figured that it only takes a simple thing to do to accomplish such a word. Open Mind.

FAB Family and I was invited by Jendela Ide Indonesia Foundation to do a graffiti workshop for children aged 10 to 16 at Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF - Jl. Purnawarman #70). It was an exciting feeling seeing the enthusiasm from the kids on graffiti. I really had lots of fun as much as the kids did. I would like to thank all the participants and all the people involved in creating such a good event.

Live painting for Five Live Surawisesa event at SMAN 5 Bandung. This time I shared a panel with FSA (Five Street Art) which is an extracurricular group who practices street art. The whole concept of the event was interesting, actually. Their theme was based on a Sundanese character, Surawisesa. Their focus was to bring back the Sundanese culture in Bandung as young people nowadays are forgetting the traditional values of their own culture. I also was asked to make an artwork for their event t-shirt. I had a great time and would like to thank Hakiki and all the cool students at SMAN 5 Bandung.

Here, Take My Smile | Acrylics on Canvas (60cm x 60cm), 2013

The sketch of this painting was taken from one of my daily drawings. If I can remember the day I made the sketch was when I had to meet many people that day. It made me have to perform a smile every time I met a person. You could say they were fake smiles but they weren't because smiles are actually powerful. Powerful enough to make someone have a nice day. So here, take my smile.

I had the chance to work with Danone Aqua on their project called "Temukan Indonesiamu" -find your Indonesia. This project is very interesting because it tells us to find our Indonesia. A good cause indeed because younger generations here seem to forget where they come from and with this campaign I think it can help remind them who they are and how rich of cultures we have. I spent three long days along with four other artists (Tutu, Sidvizeus, Robowobo and Gula) in an airbrush workshop to work on the vinyls that was later going to be put up on bus shelters in Jakarta. It was a very nice experience for all of us and I really enjoyed the time working on this. Thank you to Plussixtwo and Aqua.
