painting. After graduating, Fauzan decided to pursue a career as an full

time artist and currently lived in Yogyakarta.

Fauzan likes watching films, music and photography too, many of his

paintings are Inspired from there, the visuals of dreamscape paintings that

are always present and sea animals that seem to fly through the air indicate

that Fauzan seems to want to erase the boundaries between the sea and

land worlds so that he can be wild in himself. his work seems to have no

limits, the message he conveys is not far from stories of experiences and

cultural tales from where he was born, namely West Sumatra.

Fauzan has also been actively exhibiting from 2018 until now, his

works have been present in various cities in Indonesia and abroad. Fauzan

has also held 2 solo exhibitions with the exhibition titles “Purple in Blooms”

and “Merangkai”

I'm Fika Arestya Sultan called Fika Leon

born in May 1983. Lives and works in Yogyakarta.

I'm a self-taught artist, self-training and doing it myself.

Some things I get from talking art with artist friends

The world of art for me is doing what I love and teaching myself to be sovereign and responsible for what I do. That's where I got to know more about my self-taught process in the art field. Many see, feel, and try to understand works of art from various genres as wide as the universe that will not be written or painted enough. We are only trying to proclaim the majesty of the Creator with the aim of conveying the beauty of the universe from an individual perspective. I work seriously by using whatever materials I can, such as: marker, acrylic, enamel, rubber, asphalt/bitumen and black silicone on canvas. And I will continue to develop the process of finding or researching this material. For canvas, I chose raw canvas which I gesso/applied myself, for me it's a matter of personal satisfaction. I do every day like a routine. For me, it's a way to improve my painting skills. The most important thing for me is the process: trying, trying and trying. Results are not a priority, results are effects, I believe God has arranged them. That no matter how good our efforts, God has determined the best for us.

My work speaks or raises a simple and personal theme, sometimes even without a theme, flows without cause like water, like an abstract painting without a title but lines and colors describe something beautiful and unusual, and form a new object/figure in my mind.

Obviously I like something positive. About togetherness, family, solid and About the spirit of progress in order to achieve the desire for success in this life, namely happiness itself. I want everyone to be happy and Happy to see my art. And I will be happier of course. For me, sharing with others is a noble hope and goal. Because the creator did that to us. God makes creation happy in his own way. Even then we will never guess, without us knowing we are happy without a reason. Like paint that is scratched aimlessly but in the end it will arrive at a result that the process we did not realize before. Whatever and in any way I will do to deliver the beauty. Because it's good.

I am always intrigued to create works about abnormalities, weirdness and the tragic. I make stories inspired by the everyday. Stories I have heard from friends, TV shows, news and my surroundings. I believe uncommon events or occurrences are important to be told so that they can be appreciated as reality. The audience should be able to interpret this new reality, enjoy it and feel the emotions caused by it. 

My aim in creating works is to create visual sensation to amuse and provoke the audience. I do so by creating odd shapes and textures in my works through pasting, patching, layering, tearing, binding and making patterns of the fabric.

Gilang Fradika (b.1988)

Berdomisili di Yogyakarta, dan menjalani praktik artistik sebagai seniman visual, secara garis besar karyaku adalah proses melihat kemungkinan interaksi antar manusia  dengan objek yang mendampinginnya. objek tersebut banyak hadir dari citraan anatomi tubuh (manusia, tumbuhan dan hewan), serta benda benda keseharian - seperti tindakan kolase, mereka saling menumpuk dan berinteraksi satu dengan yang lain. Dengan metode  menata, mengolah dan merubah objek-objek tersebut  sesuai kebutuhan menjadi gambar atas rekaan artistik ataupun  sebagai alternative bentuk dan bahasa metafor yang sesuai konteks.

Menggubahnya adalah cara mempertanyakan kembali sikap, dan apa yang telah membentuk lingkungan  dengan perilaku kita di dalamnya.
