Tifani Anggun
Born on October 9 1996, currently live and work in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Tifani Anggun Saraswati is an emerging artist, her career in visual art started
in 2023. Her education background in interior design and her main job
as an interior designer has been influenced a lot about her point of view
in materials, colors and textures. Her interest grows in unconventional
material, such as latex. Its transparency and the unpredictable behavior of
it is one of the reason she uses this material. She let it takes her to the end
of process without any certainty.
Having difficulty in remembering certain event in the past, but she finds
that colors stay the longest in her mind. Those colors then becoming the
main concept in her works. Combining colors, texture and the transparency
of latex. From the first until the last layers of latex are put one at a
time, it takes about a day for one layer of latex to cured and ready for the
next layer. This process takes quite of a time to finally making one final
work. But she enjoys every single process of making her work, like it is a
meditative process to her.

TuTu
A.A.G Airlangga alias TuTu was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. As an artist who was born in the early 70s, of course, many things have been recorded and felt. His personal and social life is surrounded by things like animation, history, cartoons, and things that smell like science fiction, allowing him to think broadly and far ahead. He always proceeds methodically, namely by mapping the narrative and his anxiety, research studying the material of a medium, and how to work in an appropriate way to convey his narrative.
For example, in the field of music, not only did he join a band or electronic music group, but he was a Music Director for feature films until he was nominated as The Best OST by the National Indonesian Movie Festival for the film Janji Joni (Kalyanashira, 2005).
Tutu started his career as a conventional Animator, freelance Illustrator, and in 2000 he began to enter the world of Street Art. This is because he is interested in seeing the public's response to his work, so he pursues it. He has participated in many Street Art events and exhibitions, both national and international, so that he has entered into several national and international media and his profile has also been published in several books that have been released internationally. However, the saturation of the uniformity of the Street Art scene made him develop and explore the concept material and visuals more broadly, without leaving the historical component he was passing through.
Tutu's work visualizes the balance between all elements that are not classical geometric rules in general, the elaboration of microscopic forms, the incorporation of different visual techniques, formulated in the style of science fiction and fantasy (Science Fiction) on a medium. In his work, visuals often appear with hidden meanings such as leaving pieces of a puzzle to be solved.
By bringing geometric abstraction forms and giving a retro yet futuristic
feel, his work seems to open a new world that exists but is not real. Dimensionless space, massless form, non-linear time – something that invites imaginary exploration. Until now he carries Retrofuturistic Deco Realism.
