拍品資料及來源

“Alfi presents this in layers of images and forms, colours and textures…The layers become never-ending… elements and themes that have been so far present in his paintings are also layers and braiding of memories, woven recollections, and reminiscences. The reflections and thoughts of an artist, embody a series of psycho-biological traces about the artist’s life experience… [which directly translates his] memories… [forming] the basis of Alfi’s works.

[
Memories] are not synonymous with nostalgia for Alfi. While nostalgia is the energy that pulls one into the vortex of the past, Alfi’s memories and recollections provide energy that propels and drives him to keep moving in the present while welcoming the future… the tension between trying to remember and trying to forget… Layered and overlapping ambiguities become the norm in Alfi’s works.

[To] paint, he said, is to conduct a soliloquy, a silent conversation with oneself.”

Enin Supriyanto, Jumaldi Alfi: Melting Memories, 2011, p. 12-13, 15
