In Southeast Asia today, contemporary society acknowledges the primacy of economic activity and return; of sustainability to drive us
toward productive outcomes and prosperity not for pride, but to thrive as living and evolved citizens of our own countries and of the
world. What place does tradition have in our modern existences, and how do the demands of contemporary life compete with the demands
for food for our soul? In every culture a renaissance is eternally brewing.
We seek knowledge and history;
but we also desire what is
but we also desire what is
new and inspirational.

Fendry Ekel (b. Jakarta, Indonesia) has been dubbed a 'pictor doctus', who critically investigates in his art the power of figuration
and representation by appropriating iconic images from our collective memory. His multilayered enigmatic monumental paintings after
existing photographs explore the relations between 'man and memory'.
