Mangmoel graduated from the Department of Fine Arts and Crafts, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Bandung in 2012. After his solo exhibition in 2012 entitled ‘Mogus World’, Mangmoel lives in Yogyakarta until today. Mogus is an alter-ego in the form of an octopus monster character created by Mangmoel complete with they ecosystem that is close to the visual form of underwater.

Mangmoel with Mogus as his alter-ego doesn’t just stop at creating monster characters and their ecosystem. The magical objects that Mangmoel creates also include installations, 2-dimensional images and videos as alternative forms of his work. The idea of repurposing and developing a modular model of work creates value creation effects, behavioral effects and perceptions of his work as well as the identity effect that appears in each of Mangmoel’s works. Until 2023 Mangmoel is active in holding exhibitions, both solo and group exhibitions such as ‘Fragile Ecologies’, Sapar Contemporary - New York USA 2022; ‘Water in Asian Arts’, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Fukuoka - Japan 2023; ìModular Utopiaî, USC LA Fischer Museum, Los Angeles - USA 2023.

WAYAN YUSA DIRGANTARA was born and raised in Bali then studied at ISI Yogyakarta and graduated in 2021. The panorama of the beach with white sand and beautiful limestone cliffs became the initial attraction of Yusa’s works, coastal activities and childhood memories play an important role in the process of creation. Environmental issues are also addressed by Yusa in her works. As a migrant living in Yogyakarta, Yusa releases her longing for the coast, recalling simple fragments that pop into her head and rearranging them onto the canvas. Memories are certainly not perfect, there are sides that are blurred when recalled, therefore abstraction becomes the most appropriate language to express that feeling. The emergence of fragments in the form of colors, textures and textures represent the longing for the beach panorama. In her work, Yusa will continue to reflect on nature. His first solo exhibition titled My Space was held in 2020. His next solo exhibition was held at Artotel Thamrin, Jakarta and at Space 1326 Gallery, Seoul, South Korea in 2022. Followed by a solo presentation at TIAF (Tamra International Art Fair), Jeju, South Korea.

TUYULOVEME (b. 1990, Indonesia) is an Indonesian artist who began his artistic practice on the streets of Yogyakarta creating work in between the art and graffiti aesthetic. Although not a native of Yogyakarta, he has been a resident for couple of years as a base for him to do creative work while working with his national and international network. Tuyuloveme has been painting his unique style religiously on the streets for over ten years. He started developing his own character, the Tuyul, in 2009. It represents an alter-ego, a self-portrait of sorts, popping up on walls and street corners in different places. His visual style is often depicted as organized, expressive and chaotic at the same time; it is almost like a mirror to his personality in real life. You may find this artistic works in the walls or corner of streets in major cities all over Indonesia, Asia, Europe, Australia and US. His career has been nourished and influenced by extensive travels and an ability to work and collaborate with other artists. Tuyuloveme has been featured in national and international events with a number of solo exhibitions.

CYRIL KONGO (b. 1969, Toulouse, France). He started doing graffiti as an urban street artist in 1986. In the early years of his practice, he was a solely street artist; he produced large frescoes, whether on walls or other urban constructs, throughout the world. These artworks, which unfortunately can now only be found in photos and film, gained him recognition on the international stage. His twenty years of experience in the French Graffiti scene as a member of the MAC CREW collective allowed him to hone his mastery in this discipline and earned him the title as one of the early representatives of the world’s Graffiti scene; introducing graffiti as a genre.

Kongo’s works gained international recognition from the many national and international festivals he participated in. He held numerous solo exhibitions, and his art was also featured in several gallery exhibitions. Most of his works are now part of exclusive private collections. Cyril Kongo has worked with D Gallerie since 2013, where he held his Solo exhibition A stroll in Paris with Kongo. In 2019, Kongo launched his solo show Les Ephémères de Cyril Kongo (Kongo’s Studio) in Jakarta with D Gallerie. Being recognized as a world-acclaimed artist, prestige brands began to commission Kongo for the creation of luxury goods. Some of his notable collaborations include a silk scarf (a carré) with Hermès in 2011, the RM 68-01 TOURBILLON CYRIL KONGO watch with Richard Mille, and a pâte de Verre spray-paint can with crystal manufacturer Daum in 2016. In 2018, Kongo had a collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld for the 2018 Chanel Métier d’Art collection shown in New York.
