Catalogue Note

"In this work I juxtapose the persona of Affandi with the work that has been essential in the context of Indonesian Modern Art. As a member of the generation that succeeds Affandi's, I would like to make the work relevant to the current burgeoning digital culture. With the passage of time, it is certain that Affandi's works will live through the cultural changes of a constantly evolving world. They will be appreciated, placed and perceived by humanity through shifting transient glasses. Affandigital was conceived with this perspective in mind."
