In Collaboration with Srisasanti Gallery, Art Seasons Gallery is pleased to present Indonesian artist Gatot Indrajati’s (B.1980) Solo Exhibition: The Puppet State from 16 April – 10 May, 2014. Dolls, Wood and Decorative Aestheticism are three main characteristics of Gatot’s visual works. Through depicting wooden dolls on canvas, Gatot positions himself as a social antenna, and believes that dolls, which are metaphors for “Someone who becomes a toy for someone else,” currently exist in Indonesian high society. Gatot views dolls, with their rich and flexibility meaning, as an icon and at the same time a victim in the life of our society. By using woods to form dolls on canvas, it offers dolls another life, since wood itself is considered as a living object with fibre aesthetics, as well as its history and colour characters. Through those meticulous paintings, Gatot raised the social issues that clouded the hearts and minds of Indonesian people. He used metaphors to pack those social issues that are often trite and just narrative-journalistic in nature. Gatot Indrajati (B.1980), graduated from Indonesian Institute of the Arts, was the winner of Indonesia Art Award (IAA) in 2008, and the winner of UOB Painting of the Year 2011. His works have been exhibited in Singapore, South Korea, Shanghai and Indonesia.
