Fika Ria Santika is an installation artist born in West Sumatra and is now based in Yogyakarta. Gajah Gallery named her one of the most innovative young artists in the region, as she works by creating vibrant works representing organic form using inorganic matter. Her signature is working with LED lights and other technology-related materials combined with organic objects to create colorful installations, creating images of the natural and unnatural.
I Gak Murniasih is a visual artist based on Bali whose signature is the image of the traditional Balinese style Pengosekan painting. She is best known for her graphic and uninhibited painting of nude body parts, which are presented sexually to the audience. Murni, who has exhibited her artworks in Italy, Thailand, Japan and Hong Kong, likes to explore feminism, identity, sex, violence and death through her explicit artworks.
Tintin Wulia has a strong background in architecture and film scoring. Her works, which are always devised to foster critical dialogues and engage the audience to interact with the installation, have been displayed in the Netherlands, Canada and the United Kingdom. (gis/kes)
