Manager of PT Faber-Castell International Indonesia, Fransiska Remila said in a statement that she hoped the exhibition could serve as a gateway for Indonesia’s young talented artists to emerge and reach for the international stage — an aspiration in line with the spirit of Polychromos pencils, known for their quality among professional artists around the world.
Featured artist Adrie Basuki said that in Polychromos pencils he found softness and strong and vibrant colors, a combination he said he rarely encountered with other pencils.
Visitors can expect to see a range of artworks with different styles and characteristics, all created using Polychromos pencils. Certain works do not even use paper as their medium — like the work of featured artist Angga Yuniar, which is drawn on wood. (ayr/mut)
