Painting
For artist Nasirun, collecting invitation cards from various art events was a fun pass time. Since 2008, Nasirun started to paint on them, based on their existing patterns and images. He created a dialogue with the cards, completing or replacing some patterns and images that existed on the cards to meet his style. Nasirun wrapped up this project after around 1,000 invitation cards. His work is on display for the public at Galeri Salihara in South Jakarta from Nov. 3 to 25.
