Both artists graduated from Bandung Institute
of Technology (ITB). Heyi Ma'mun starts her painting career
since she entered university and she never quit till now.
Her works are easily recognized; 'abstract' style, 'natures'
theme and 'bright' colors are dominating while white color
never omitted. Her works never made a big change in its character,
but it's getting deeper every step she made. Iriantine Karnaya
has always been serious in her career producing wood based
and metal sculpture. Her works are easy recognizable; 'realistic'
style, her theme is 'figure object' and utilizing 'natural
color' of the media. Her existence in the world of art is
undeniable, recently she works her self toward the field of
mankind. In this case we can appreciate their serious attitude
and their consistency on their path.
The question today is, how many Art Graduate
female in Indonesia for the last 30 years choosing a career
as an artist, the sum might be very small. Yet in that small
number we have Heyi Ma'mun and Iriantine Karnaya. As a painter,
the existence of Heyi Ma'mun is undeniable. For the last two
decades, painting has been very popular for the artist and
appreciators. But the present modern art, abstract is known
hard to understood, it's different from the contemporary sculpture
done by Iriantine Karnaya. Contemporary sculpture has never
been popular for the artist and appreciator. The objective
of this exhibition is inviting people to appreciate abstract
painting and contemporary sculpture.
Basically the works of the two artists have
their own character, not just the difference in the media
but the way they're expressing themselves. Even though they
start from the same starting line: the experience of absorbing
every phenomena of the nature. Heyi in responses the nature
as strokes and the shaping up tights in her unique way of
interpreting it. She reflect it back-story of nature as structural
composition in an esthetical way with various imagination
in movement and musical nuance to create a new essence. While
Iriantine choose the object of nature to be represented in
an essence and esthetic language. Some of her works show more
consideration to abstracting and distortion rather than the
realistic here, this causes the shape does no longer refer
back its figures or giving a verbal sense.
