EKO NUGROHO : LOT LOST @ ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES

IMGL3380

IMGL3381Artist EKO NUGROHO belongs to a generation  of contemporary Indonesian artists who emerged during ‘Reformasi’, a period of democratic reforms that followed several months of economic turmoil and the collapse of the Suharto dictatorship in 1988. Based in Yogyakarta, the artistic and revolutionary capital of Indonesia, Nugroho is  deeply engaged with his local community.

His work reflects a commitment to addressing the social and political change that Indonesia has experienced over the past two decades.

The current exhibition, LOT LOST at the Art Gallery Of New South Wales, is a finely layered and darkly humoured portrayal of everyday life in Indonesia today. The exhibition  runs till early next year.
