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.

HENDRA ‘HEHE’ HARSONO is an Indonesian artist based in Yogyakarta. He is a part of the early 2000s generation artists of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, born mostly in the early 1980s. This group of artists was brought up being exposed to diverse subcultures, growing up within the paradoxes of Western multiculturalism and changing values in their own countries such as MTV invasion, cable TV, internet, and neoliberalism. Thus, the traces of influences of Pop Culture, the Indie Movement, graphic novels, lowbrow art, pop surrealism, street style fashion, and more can be evident in HeHe’s works. HeHe has always been interested in working with paintings, drawings, resin toys, and premises-based on his experiences in everyday life and contemporary culture issues. He maintains his signature childlike, surreal characters. His works contain some personification, in which he portrays inanimate objects in a way that seems alive such as giving them their characters and personalities. His artworks embrace friendliness and fun, a kind of acceptance and openness of new possibilities and potentials. While, at the same time, he is still fully aware of its ironies and distance. Moving on with his existence in the real world, he believes that exploring life’s absurdities and abnormalities can enhance his life experience, creating it more colorful.
