I’ve recently returned from six weeks traveling in Indonesia, during which I spent a week with the artists of the Taring Padi cooperative in Yogyakarta, Central Java. I’ll be posting entries for the next several weeks pertaining to aspects of my travels, some art-related, some not. I thought I’d start off with a bit of a bang- a partial photo-gallery of some of the pictures I was able to take of art made by one of my gracious hosts, Mohamed Yusuf (also known as Ucup).
Enjoy more images below!
A detail from a much larger blockprint about the area drowned by Lapindo’s mud volcano, near Surabaya.
Entitled “the Passenger”. Smuggling AK-47’s inside the enormous frozen carcasses of tuna.
This print is about 18 feet long, and maybe 5 feet wide, cut from MDF hardboard and printed on canvas.
Inspiring post! The images are just incredible and great to see recent work by Taring Padi. Any video footage?
Looks fabulous..mind blowing art.
beautiful
Awesome pictures! A real work of art.
