Heri Dono: Pleasures of Chaos Opens at Walsh Gallery
from:Walsh Gallery category:Arts and Entertainment posted:July 23rd, 2008Renowned Indonesian artist Heri Dono will show his latest paintings in the Pleasures of Chaos, a solo exhibition of superhero inspired works critiquing modern Indonesia.
Although Heri Dono frequently exhibits sculptural installations, for this exhibition Dono creates a series of vibrant paintings drawing on the chaos of everyday life. Dono’s compositions, often richly colored, feature disordered fantastical figures on many scales. The disharmony he depicts often reflects upon the clashing orders found in Indonesia.
