Artist(s): Eko NUGROHO
Date: 15 Aug - 5 Oct 2009
Eko’s works were recently on exhibit in the Busan Biennale (2008) and the Guangzhou Triennale (2008). Using cartoons as his basic form of expression, Eko Nugroho explores various mediums including paintings, drawings, wall murals, animations, embroideries, three-dimensional objects and installations. Eko heads a group of young Indonesian artists who use comics as their main tool of artistic discource seemingly approaching sociopolitical issues through cheerful, playful and humorous perspectives, although at the same time he transmits bitter and sarcastic messages to critique universal issues.
