The Mutation
Painstaking Realism in Indonesian Contemporary Painting
Exhibition
This exhibition was held as part of the Indonesia–Japan Friendship Festival ’97, and was organized by Indonesian curators. Starting in the 1970s, a new form of painting emerged in Indonesia among artists who based their works on images circulating in the mass media and popular culture, such as printed photographs and advertisements, which they rendered using detailed and realistic techniques. The exhibition featured 44 new oil paintings by 11 artists who were being shown as a group in Japan for the first time.
