karya dua perupa, Ivan Hariyanto dan Paul Hendro
Philo Art Space,
Jl Kemang Timur 90-C,
Jakarta Selatan
T 719-8448
Ivan Hariyanto, kelahiran Banyuwangi tahun 1955, adalah lulusan Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI), Yogyakarta. Sementara Paul Hendro, kelahiran Madiun, menyelesaikan studi di Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan (IKIP), Yogyakarta. Pameran akan dibuka tanggal 6 Agustus 2007 pukul 20.00 dan akan berlangsung sampai 27 Agustus 2007.
from The Jakarta Post:
East Java artist Ivan Hariyanto and Jakarta-based artist Paul Hendro have long known and admired each other’s work.
It seems fitting that Ivan and Paul’s first encounter with one another would take place at the opening night of their joint painting exhibition at Philo Art Space, titled Encounter.
“The title ‘Encounter’ refers to the joining of two realist painters,” said Amalia Ahmad, co-owner of the gallery, noting the parallels between the two artists’ works.
Indeed, at first glance, it’s easy to see the stylistic similarities between the work of Ivan and Paul. Both painters eschew fanciful depictions in favor of more simple, un-idealized renditions of their subjects.
That’s not to say that their takes on realism lack creativity.
Ivan, the slightly surreal and more experimental of the two, has a knack for unconventional framing and boldly colored backgrounds. One of his most playful pieces on display is Eddie Hara-Why Me?
On a stark yellow background, what appears to be a self-portrait of Ivan is howling in pain as a surreal-looking fish, painted in the style of Eddie, bites his finger.
A different piece worth contemplating is the symbolic You Are My Hamburger. Another self-portrait of Ivan is framed against a light pink background, his figure hunched in a covetous pose while holding a rock, a hamburger floating above his hands.
Look closely and one can also spot a Salvador Dali-esque melted watch face splayed over the rock.
“The hamburger represents a joke, because a lot of people cannot afford things like hamburgers and Cokes,” said Ivan, 52. “The watch represents how fashion changes over time and that this hamburger is a trend.”
One thing that Ivan didn’t choose to elaborate on was a small American flag painted onto the hamburger, no doubt to signify its national origin and to denote some thinly veiled criticism.
What he did divulge was the inspiration for much of his work, which stems from a need to balance the barrage of technology and modernism with the traditional.
Works like The Traditional Dancer with The Woman are indicative of his vision, pairing a Western woman in modern dress with a dancer of seemingly Balinese origin, the latter appearing to push away the former.
“I cannot deny the uprising of media, the Internet or TV,” said Ivan, who has been painting for more than 30 years. That is why I mix the traditional with the modern. There must be a balance. You cannot be uprooted: You have to remember your culture.”
Whereas Ivan’s work is a bit more esoteric in symbolism, Paul prefers to lay things out at face value.
Pieces like Thanks, Daddy and Berangkat Subuh, Pulang Larut (Dawn departure, night return) illustrate an embracing of modern lifestyles and a simple air of positivism.
One would think that a deeper disparagement of affluent excess or technological detachment lay beneath the two works, but Paul countered, saying, “There are so many negative things in the news and the media. I just want to highlight the positive.”
But some of Paul’s work falls more on the surrealist side, which can be seen in the piece Tentang Tingkap2 Langit Yang Terbuka (open layers in the sky), which depicts a sky layered with open windows and money raining down through them. Paul explained of the painting, “If God gives you fortune, no one can stop it.”
Another example of Paul’s non-adherence to the rules of realism is the piece Dua Hati, in which a two tree trunks supported by steel beams join together at a point.
“The wood and metal are like a husband and wife with very different characters, but they can work together,” said Paul.
Much like the metal and wood in Paul’s painting, the character of both artists may be different, but the joining of their art is like a successful symbiotic relationship.

Yang Fan’s works portray women from the post-70s, unlike other outstanding female artists who focus on depicting sophisticated woman, Yang Fan pay high attention to those ‘Shallow Woman’. Most of them are from 18 to 28 years old, crazy about fashion, have never experiences the hardness of life, pretty but seemingly have no wisdom or brain.
When talking about image style, Yang Fan’s paintings are very close to the iconograph of fashion magazine or beauty pictures in cheap magazines. Her paintings are always collecting all the most skin-deep materialized details and various trendy bright colors. Both the background and the images look almost like a piece of complanate paper..

pameran dua perupa Bandung
Galeri Lontar
Jln. Utan Kayu 68
Jakarta Timur
T 857-3388
Syah Fadil dan Septian Harriyoga adalah lulusan Fakultas Seni Rupa dan Desain ITB. Yang satu menekuni seni lukis, yang satu lagi mendalami seni patung. Karya-karya mereka memperlihatkan kecenderungan baru dalam perkembangan seni rupa Bandung. Pokok masalah yang menjadi inspirasi pada karya-karya mereka bukanlah sesuatu yang megah atau yang ingin merangkul dunia, melainkan soal-soal sepele dan kecil yang terabaikan dari perhatian kita. Fadil, misalnya, menirukan rupa gelembung-gelembung sabun sebagai arena bermain yang tak terbayang ke dalam lukisannya. Harriyoga menangkap asosiasi dari bentuk-bentuk patungnya yang minimalis. Dan, bertolak dari soal sederhana itu pula, gagasan-gagasan orisinal muncul pada karya-karya mereka, sekaligus menemukan rahasia dari ruang-ruang tersembunyi mediumnya.

Tunnel, Esplanade, Singapura
by Stephanie Cheng, Kenny Lim, Eudora Rusli,Calvin Tan, Tan Seow Wei and Tan Taitien
Singapore and Indonesia
Six young artists, six different styles. This series of mixed media drawings showcases both individual and collaborative works by six young artists. As the title suggests, the works are results of personal expression and interaction amongst the artists during the work process.
Enam artis muda dari Indonesia dan Singapura, menampilkan karya ilustrasi di atas mix media dengan enam gaya yang berbeda.
The different styles and myriad media on paper result in abstract, fragmented works of uncertainty and ambiguity. The works are never finished. Simultaneous layers of adding and subtracting over the weeks from these works keep them in constant development. Like the process of playing, there is never an end.
Stephanie Cheng, Kenny Lim, Eudora Rusli, Calvin Tan, Tan Seow Wei dan Tan Taitien.
Karya-karya mereka merupakan ungkapan ekspresi personal dan interaksi antar sesama artis selama proses pengerjaannya.
Perbedaan gaya dan banyaknya media di atas kertas menghasilkan karyakarya abstrak, terfragmen, mengandung banyak arti dan ketidakpastian.
Karyakarya itu tidak pernah selesai. Bermingguminggu secara simultan layer-layernya ditambah dan dikurangi. Seperti proses bermain, akhir tak kunjung tiba.

dan Peluncuran buku antologi puisi karya Amien Kamil
TAMSIL TUBUH TERBELAH
Asal mula segala amsal, bermula dari tiada menjadi ada
dibuka oleh Iwan Fals

bataviase@indo.net.id
dari kata pengantar buku:
...... lantas kenapa berjudul "Tamsil Tubuh Terbelah"?
Tak ada pretensi apa-apa, selain puisi itu adalah salah satu puisi dari
beberapa puisi yang saya senangi dan seringkali dibacakan pada beberapa
kesempatan di kantong-kantong budaya, komunitas seni yang peduli terhadap
perkembangan kebudayaan yang berkembang di masyarakatnya.
Juga bukan pula antologi ini berkeinginan untuk menjadi kontekstual. Saya
hanya berusaha menuruti krentek kata hati, menggali dan mengolah kemungkinan
yang ada, hingga kemungkinan yang paling mustahil sekali pun.
Oleh sebab itu, sejak 6 bulan lalu saya mengumpulkan dan menyeleksi
puisi-puisi, merancang sampul depan dan membuat gambar-gambar untuk
ilustrasi dalam buku.
Kemudian menerbitkannya sendiri! ......
dari isi buku:
IN MEMORIAM
mengenang Saut Sitompul
Via Dolorosa.....
Jalan penderitaan telah dilewati
serta kau tuntaskan malam jelang pagi itu
namun puisi terakhir tak sempat kau selesaikan
saat melintas jalan depan bioskop Rivoly
kau terbang diterjang taxi
Naas!
Entah,
supir taxi ngantuk atau kau yang mabuk
Masih terkenang dalam ingatan
kau melintas bebas berbaju gombrong
celana komprang dan sepatu kebesaran
Keriting rambutmu berkibar
kilat jidatmu terlihat dari kejauhan
paras wajahmu berbinar
senyum mengembang, tawamu lantang
Suatu sore, kau menghampiriku
"Punya papier?:
Kutatap matanya yang dalam
"Buat apa, Bang?"
"Awak mau menulis puisi!" ujarmu
senyum sambil menggaruk kepala
("mungkin") titik-titik terang muncul seketika
Subuh, aku masih mlungker dibalik selimut
via sms, seseorang kirim kabar duka
engkau telah tiada tinggalkan segala
"Selamat jalan, kawan"
Ach, Apa yang terjadi
tak sempat kau tulis menjadi puisi

Erasmus Huis
Free entrance | Gratis
Photography exhibition by Mirjam Bürer
Regional plants, as opposite to modern uniform patented plants, have been researched and photographed by Mirjam Bürer during her many trips to Asia. The worldwide urbanization and the economic market principles suppress the world’s original ecological resources - resources we often sacrifice without giving it much thought. Mirjam Bürer uses this theme to build an installation in the garden of the Erasmus Huis, and by doing so draws attention to the importance of a genetic variation of plants for the preservation of biodiversity and the value of putting quality above quantity. In the Erasmus Huis the public will be able to see big screens constructed out of layers of painted, photographed and serigraphed landscapes with plants and seeds.
Selama sekian banyak perjalanannya di Asia, Mirjam Bürer melakukan penelitian dan membuat foto tanaman budidaya daerah, yang berlawanan dengan tanaman modern yang seragam dan dipatenkan. Urbanisasi yang mendunia dan prinsip-prinsip pasar ekonomi merusak sumber ekologis, sumber yang sering kita korbankan tanpa dipikirkan terlebih dahulu. Tema ini dipakai oleh Mirjam Bürer untuk membuat sebuah instalasi di kebun Erasmus Huis dan dengan melakukan itu, ia mencoba menarik perhatian orang akan pentingnya variasi genetik tanaman untuk kelanjutan keanekaragaman hayati serta pentingnya menempatkan kwalitas di atas kwantitas. Di Erasmus Huis akan tampak layar besar yang terdiri dari lapisan lukisan, foto dan cetakan pemandangan dengan tanaman dan benih

solo painting exhibition by Wayan Sudiarta
elcanna art gallery
jl. Pakubuwono VI No. 35
Kebayoran Baru,
t: 721-1101
f: 721-1121
from www.aryaseni.com : Wayan Sudiarta was born in 1969.
He graduated from Art Department of FKIP UNUD, Singaraja, Bali in 1993.
Wayan Sudiarta is the grand son of a famous painter of Balinese traditional painting which lays ground of his comprehension of the east (Balinese) aesthetics.
He obtained a multicultural environment at the department of Art Education, IKIP Singaraja, Bali, where he graduated and become a lecturer, which he understands later as the west (modern) aesthetics.
His first journey out of the country had made an inner conflict of his soul and mind and had opened his view about his culture.
The very rich and colorful Balinese dance and music is translated into his work in different ways.
These east meet west aesthetics perform tense and restless creativity for him.
He tries to combine modern with traditional aesthetics.
Most of Wayan Sudiarta’s artworks are about Balinese traditional and warrior dance.
He is so faithful to present the Balinese dances because he feels he has not comprehended them completely.
Unlike most Indonesian modern artists who interpret components of tradition by doing distortion or abstraction, Wayan presents the ornaments of tradition completely as practiced in its original style and technique.
The creation as he presents is the creation of the dance. For example, he reinterprets the Kebyar Sabung dance by looking for the main source reference of the dance: cock fighting.
The representation of his painting is the movement and gesture of cocks fighting in the bodies of the dancers.
He is not a painter that freezes a scene of a dance, instead he is a choreographer that reinterprets classical tradition dances on his canvas. His painting contexts are interpretations of his subject matter.
Most important, in the works of Sudiarta, there is a hidden side of Bali, such as dances that are rarely performed, and some choreography, and art texts move on.
