“We feel these six artists do well to tell the story that a great diversity of styles and techniques can come about within one city, let alone the entire region.”Hi Jonathan, could you tell us more about “Jogja, the Next Chapter”? How long will this exhibition be held, and what can viewers expect to see?
Yogyakarta is known by many as the “Art Capital” of Indonesia. I have been collecting works by several artists from the city. I decided that it was also the right time to share works by some of the emerging artists, who are getting good attention from international galleries. Hence, I curated six artists of different styles and techniques. They have put together a total of 26 original works for the show.
I have chosen these six artists to come together, and it’s a special moment for me as a first-time curator. I am really glad all of them agreed and bought into my vision for the show. Anton Afganial is an artist who uses colours and neo-traditional Indonesian motifs in his contemporary works. Using opaque techniques where the vivid and intense colours were mixed up, lines are made to emphasise the object or deformation he creates on the canvas.With pieces of visual, Petek Sutrisno steals from what he sees every day. He combines and brings it all together in his work, interacting with each other, which results in a refreshing blend of cartoon & still life elements.
How would you describe the artistic styles of these artists, and what do you think is the common factor that links all of them together?In my opinion, all six artists have done well to blend seemingly traditional techniques and content with a new interpretation of what contemporary art should be. This has resulted in works that look vaguely familiar but super fresh at the same time.
