Women - Art Exhibition

Few months back I was in Yogyakarta for an exhibition and was amazed by how artists there worked together to help each other grow. The more prominent artist opened their galleries and regularly had group exhibitions that included artists not only from Indonesia but elsewhere as well.

They used their popularity to get these artists opportunities, exhibitions and media coverage. Not only that, they invited their collectors and anyone they thought would be interested to see and purchase art to join them at these exhibitions. I really loved the collaborative culture I saw there.

Which was why after I came back I decided to try and bring that culture here and started this open call exhibition. I would like to thank One Utama’s team and management for starting this gallery and making it accessible to all. It is important that such art spaces are available for artists to use to share their art.

How do artist visualise women? Women come in different shapes, colours and play different roles in our everyday lives. All the artists today have shown different interpretation of women in their own artistic styles and mediums.
