Sri Harjanto Sahid-Recent Works

Sri Harjanto Sahid recent works during the period 2007-2008 were made on big sized canvases. He used more detailed object, micro sized dots, lines, and forms to fill the space. His technique developed into what Harjanto called as "Contemporary Decorative".
"I challenge myself by using this method of painting. I tried to make every single dots, every single lines artistically. Sometimes, I work about fifteen hours in front of the canvas. I need great great patience to finish a painting with technique like this." Harjanto explained. "I used also wet tissues mixed with glues to create textured surface."
The example of Harjanto's recent works can be seen below


Sri Harjanto Sahid-Anjing Menyerbu Bulan (The Dogs Invading the Moon) -2007-300x200cm

"In those paintings, I purely played with my imagination. Later, i realized that my childhood memories and reminiscent strongly affected those period." said Harjanto.
In later development, the influence of his daily life and childhood memory strongly appear in his artworks. For example his painting titled "Menguak Misteri Semesta" (Revealing the Mystery of the Century), he transformed his family into seven bodied objects around the circle. "There are mother, father, and five children. The mother stand with her feet on the ground, as she roled as the pillar of the family. Meanwhile the father's feet directed to the sky, and his head is on the ground. It means, the father will do everything, even until his body turned around, to support his family." Harjanto said.

Wiku Pulangasih- The Period of Disaster

"I think i am very lucky to be born as Indonesian" said Wiku Pulangasih. "Why? I born in Indonesia, a country of thousands islands, thousands cultures, thousands disasters, and thousands problems." he explained.
The thousands cultures, problems, disasters, and crimes greatly affect Wiku's life and paintings. He grows as a teenager along with Tsunami, Earthquake, Terrorism, Corrupt Government, Two Period of Global Economy Crises, Crimes, et cetera.
"I do love my country. Through my paintings, i would like to cheer the victim of the disaster, reminding the mankind about the great power of nature, also encouraging people to keep struggling."
Wiku captures the power of Nature in his paintings through satyric, comical figures and colors. For example in his paintings titled "The Great Battle between East and West Ocean" (Homage to Victims of Tsunami). The artworks consists of two pieces of paintings, that each of them can also be viewed as single artwork.


The Great Battle between East and West Ocean (Homage to Victims of Tsunami)-Wiku Pulangasih-Acrylic on Canvas-400 cm x 300 cm-2004

Another examples of Wiku's great obsession towards natural disaster reflected in "The Deadly Volcano (Eruption of Mount Merapi 2005)". At the period, the Eruption of Mt. Merapi threatened Wiku's hometown.
"Everyday we were worried about the mountain. Especially when the government increase the status of alertness towards the Eruption. God Bless, the Great Eruption didn't happen" said Wiku.
Same with his painting about Tsunami, his artwork titled "The Deadly Volcano" consists of two paintings.


The Deadly Volcano (Eruption of Mount Merapi 2005)-Wiku Pulangasih-Acrylic on Canvas-400 cm x 300 cm-2005

Besides natural disaster, Wiku also transforms the social-economy-politic condition in Indonesia and the world into paintings. His concern about Corrupt Government, especially in Indonesia (one of the country with highest Corrupted Givernment rate), forced him to create " The Corruptors".
"Sent my resentment to all corruptors in the world. I do believe that they will be burned by the Demon in deepest and darkest hell!"



The Corruptors-Wiku Pulangasih-Acrylic on Canvas-400 cm x 300 cm-2004

"The Corruptors" consist of two paintings titled "The Money Eater" and "The Untouchable Thieves". Wiku depicted the corruptors as pigs, rats, and bats; equipped with guns and claws, also wearing "the uniform of the politicians", symbolised with "tie".
Wiku's painting "Global Economy Crisis" were made four years before the Global Economy crisis. He even never thinks that the crisis would happen.
"That's too bad that my paintings comes true. At that time i just thought that people didn't do the right things with their money. We heard them said 'Let's fight against poverty!' or 'Let's help each other'. But the reality, the poverty itself is greatly developed, along with the development of the profits of the multi nation company."


The Global Economy Crisis-Wiku Pulangasih-Acrylic on Canvas-400 cm x 300 cm-2004

The artwork consists of two paintings titled "King of the Beggars" and "The Man who Fights against Poverty". "I hope the crisis will be over soon, and let's fight the crisis together!" said Wiku.
The condition of the world and the people itself, that very unpredictable drove Wiku to create two paintings titled " The Executor from Heaven" and "The Messiah from Hell".
"Today, it's very hard to judge which one is good or bad. People have thousands methods to transform a crime into charity, or vice versa. It's even very hard to distinguish which one is white and which one is black." he explained.

The Messiah from Hell-Wiku Pulangasih-Acrylic on Canvas-200 cm x 300 cm-2008

"With my artworks, i hope that i can encourage, at least myself, to do the right thing for our life. Let's face our problem optimistically, whatever its form !" said Wiku.

Wara Anindyah- Chinese Period

Wara Anindyah made a lot of paintings with Chinese Cultures as main theme mostly during the period 1999-2002. She was obsessed with Chinese Opera, Chinese Classic Films, Pearl S. Buck novels and many of Chinese culture.
"It's very hard to explain why i wanted to draw the Chinese. It's purely came from my heart." Wara explained.
Probably, Chinese blood in Wara's body drove her to make the paintings. At that time, she had not visited China, and made her paintings just based on books, Tv show, or her imagination.


Wara Anindyah-Sepasang Pemabuk (A Drunken Couple)-Oil on Canvas-145 cm x 200 cm

In this period, Wara tend to use brighter and cheerful colors. It's different with her earlier paintings, especially her pastel paintings, which dominated by gloomy, dark colors. Wara mostly focused on the family life of the ancient Chinese community, as shown by the painting below


Wara Anindyah-Menyatukan Semesta (Uniting the Century)-Oil on Canvas-200 cm x 145 cm

Wara can be recognized as the first female painter in Indonesia who captures the images of the ancient Chinese life, and her great painting technique just as shown in "Menghentikan Waktu" (Stopping the Times)

After 2001, Wara rarely made painting with Chinese Culture as her object, exactly after her trip to Beijing.
"Well, I saw everything in Beijing, and i think my imagination about Chinese Culture is completely fulfilled in Beijing. They have gone.", said Wara.

Sri Harjanto Sahid- Early Period of Painting

Before known as a painter, Sri Harjanto Sahid formerly recognized as an actor, director, and poet. Since 1999, he reduced his activity as Performer Artist and begin his career as Visual Artist.
"I had been worked as Performer Artist for a long time, until finally i realized that there are a lot of talents in my family that should be taken care. The talents of my wife (Wara Anindyah) and my children. It would be shame if i abandon their talents because of my carreer as an actor," said Sri Harjanto.
So, he decided to take a "temporary retirement" as Performer Artist then took a role as "Family Manager".
"At that time, the development of the artistic progress of my family--especially my wife- were incredibly great. I did my best to help my family. When the mother is painting, i do the laundry, cook the food, or take care of the children." Harjanto said again.
As a Family Manager, Harjanto takes reponsibility of the artistic progress of the family. He makes the canvases, buys paints, deals with collectors and galleries, takes the children to the school everyday, and greatly documented every single artworks of his family.
"Everyday we produce artworks, on a large canvas or on a tiny scratch of paper. I have to make sure that there won't be every single artwork were abandoned or thrown away. I always keep every artworks in a safe place, write the date behind the artworks, then store them neatly. For the artworks, i have to wrap them with transparent plastic in order to prevent from the dust. I do the same thing for the press publications for our family." explained Harjanto.
But, tons of jobs and reponsibility can't stop Harjanto's artistic ability. Although he is considered as rookie Visual Artist in the family (Harjanto began to paint after Wiku and Wara), he is the most productive artist in the house. Began with decorative technique in early 1995 with ink on canvas, Harjanto never stops to explore his artistic ability. He did it by made millions paintings with various medias, for example, a series consists of 746 paintings, ink on A4 paper, titled "Ziarah ke dalam Diri Sendiri" (Voyage to Myself)
