A street artist by nature, Darmawan Aji showcases his work at ART Jakarta 2018. 

In A Space Mania #1, Aji speaks about indecisiveness (or at times decisiveness) of human perception. Aji found that even in the most chaotic circumstances, human nature always brought forth various “shapes and colors”.

As human beings can be red, blue or yellow, or somewhere between the gradients, the human’s shape overall can match well with the randomness of other shapes, thereby becoming a new shape.

Aji started his journey drawing before embarking on a career as a graffiti artist. In 2011, he held his first exhibition and became active as a participant in several festivals, exhibitions and auctions.
