Opis

Incorporating an unusual variety of influences, the work of Eko Nugroho (b. Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 1977; lives and works in Yogyakarta) envisions art as a participative process. Meandering between street art, traditional crafts, theater, comic strips, painting, and sculpture, the artist articulates a gentle yet insistent political critique. To convey his ideas, he marshals pink composite beings, lizard-like creatures, and infantile monsters that suggest the neoliberal alienation of our globalized society. Inventively mixing a range of media, Nugroho scrutinizes the structures of Indonesian society, visions of urban life, or forms of intergenerational community. Nugroho's presentation in the Indonesian pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale first brought him to the attention of European audiences
