Collector Knowledge Base
He is an Indonesian contemporary artist based in Yogyakarta, celebrated for his surrealist paintings that mix pop culture references with classical techniques.
His style is best described as Pop Surrealism or Lowbrow art, characterized by smooth brushwork, dreamlike atmospheres, and a blend of cuteness with eerie or melancholic undertones.
He frequently explores themes of nostalgia, trauma, childhood memories, and the loss of innocence, often using mythological creatures and pop icons to convey these narratives.
While he has a distinct voice, critics often draw parallels to Mark Ryden for his surrealism and Yoshitomo Nara for his character designs, alongside influences from 19th-century aesthetics.
Signature motifs include starry-eyed children, rabbits (bunnies), dinosaurs, and "Sentai" (Power Ranger-like) figures that represent heroism and vulnerability.
His works have been exhibited internationally, including in Japan, Europe, the United States, and across Southeast Asia, represented by top-tier galleries like Almine Rech and NANZUKA.
