Wayang in Paintings

Hardi started off with designing Wayang (shadow puppet) and ended up with a new series that perfectly rounded up his body of work. He grew up watching and admiring shadow puppets, and its spectacular performances. He is familiar with the stories and the characters. Before, he uses them as elements that completes his paintings. Then, as he started making the Wayang and designed it, he began painting them as the main object. And the work is so powerful that he couldn't stop for a couple of months. Like a man possessed, he began a productive road in Wayang paintings creation.

 

The work got serious attention from the media and his collectors. Because it has been quite a while since Hardi created new series, and the characters seems alive in Hardi's canvases. This work will screams Indonesia, and this is how Hardi intrepret them.
