TAKSU Bali presents ‘Morning and Happiness’, a solo exhibition by talented Indonesian artist Anton Subiyanto.

Within the works featured in Anton Subiyanto’s first solo exhibition with TAKSU, he reflects upon his drawings the sentiments that come with notions of euphoria in the morning. To Anton, the birth of a new day is about happiness and a sense of identity, which he derives from the symbolism of the ancient Egyptian god, Horus. Its depiction is one of a falcon-headed man who is represented as a spiritual guide to one’s soul through everyday life.

By extension of that belief, Anton interlaces the fond memories and imagination of his past, present and future. Parallel to the enlightenment of his mornings, he presents them in the language of drawing, with rhythmic free narratives in the absence of boundaries.
