Lot description

In this, a snake head emerges from the bundle of cords, producing a contrast of different textures. Angki’s highly unique scanography works allow us to associate everyday objects in a different way. One can give it a positive spin — that a breakthrough has finally been made, rising from circumstances to triumph. Angki studied in the Modern School of Design, Yogyakarta, in 1993-1994, and furthered his studies at the Indonesian Institute of Art, Yogyakarta, in 1994-1999. He received the Asian Artist Fellowship from the National Museum of Contemporary Art, South Korea, at the Changdong Art Studio in 2005-2006. He had solos in Kuala Lumpur (Kissing The Methods, Richard Koh Fine Art, 2009), Singapore, Hong Kong and Bali, Indonesia. He was included in the ‘Space And Shadows’ Contemporary Art From Southeast Asia exhibition at the Haus World Cultural House in Berlin in 2005.
