WOUNDERLAND : A Wounded Wonder

This exhibition highlight contrasting relationship of Arkiv’s fun, joyful and colourful imagination with the bleak reality on the first year of our current pandemic life. Served as a personal ‘memento mori’ for the last three years, Wounderland : A Wounded Wonder explore a manifestation of fear, anxiety, precarious future as a glimpse of hope. In a series of paintings with a more cohesive background with its main character. Wounderland have always been a narrative background, a post-apocalyptic realm within Arkiv’s mithical and fantasy world, it was never manifested visually in such detailed ways. WOUNDERLAND: A Wounded Wonder also mark a new artistic direction for Arkiv’s realm Wounderland, as several new entity inspired from popular classic video game, cartoon characters and Indonesian endemic flora emerges. As his first solo show in 2022, WOUNDERLAND: A Wounded Wonder  narrates Arkiv’s new journey on exploring possibilities within Wounderland realm both visually and conceptually.
