Anastasia Astika
(b. Indonesia,1995)
Anastasia Astika, atau akrab dipanggil Tika, merupakan seniman Bandung yang berkarya lewat seni grafis dan kertas sebagai medium utamanya. Ia merupakan lulusan Program Studi Seni Rupa dari Institut Teknologi Bandung sejak tahun 2018. Selama studinya di ITB, ia menumbuhkan ketertarikan pada cetak dalam (intaglio), terutama dry point, etsa, dan aquatint. Teknik-teknik tersebut dikenal sebagai proses yang kompleks dan membutuhkan ketelitian, yang melibatkan berbagai reaksi kimia untuk menorehkan citraan yang diinginkan pada pelat logam serta mengandalkan sensibilitas dan pengetahuan seniman tentang material. Proses seni grafis telah membawanya pada pengalaman yang kontras antara meluapkan energi kreatifnya dan mengikuti prosedur yang ketat, antara mengeksplorasi bentuk organik dan menyusun komposisi yang detail. Dalam seri karya terbarunya, Tika menitikberatkan gagasannya pada aktivitas mengumpulkan fragmen memori personalnya yang melihat hubungan antara dirinya dan objek-objek keseharian di sekitarnya.
Atreyu Moniaga
Atreyu Moniaga is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the emotional and psychological terrain of human connection, behavior, and selfhood. His visual language—rooted in symbolism and intricate ornamentation—spans watercolor, oil, acrylic, and sculpture, reflecting a philosophical approach to image-making that is both personal and universal.
He has since exhibited alongside internationally acclaimed artists such as Ai Weiwei and Yayoi Kusama, and participated in a sold-out show with Gallery Carl Kostyál. His work has been featured in notable publications including Hong Kong Prestige and Ocula.
In 2013, he founded the Atreyu Moniaga Project, a free mentorship program for emerging illustrators and photographers. The initiative has nurtured a new generation of successful creatives, including WD Willy (Karafuru), Liffi Wongso (Sri Sasanti Gallery), Rapha Lisa (award-winning creative director), and Clasutta (Whitestone Gallery).
Condro Priyoaji
Bandung based artist Condro Priyoaji (b.1993) graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) with Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2016.
Using two color-producing elements, his works mostly use pigments and lights. Influenced by his past that surrounded by familiarity with street art, Condro is also interested in making spatial-themed works. His current interest in the concept of color is also influenced by his favored medium of painting.
Subsequently, he's also become interested in shadows. In his opinion, shadow is the most subtle existence of color. He imagines that shadow is a darker pigment on a surrounding surface. Lately, he has realized that painting shadows gives new concepts on his works such as the trails of time color intensity, and many other interesting things.
