ARNDT Singapore is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition of Jumaldi Alfi, a distinguished Indonesian artist specialising in painting. Living in Yogyakarta, the artist is a member and a co-founder of Jendela Art Group, which gained recognition and surprised art audiences with unique stylistics showing inclination for naivism and formalism. He is also a co-founder of Artists Collective: Office For Contemporary Art International, an art collective established in Yogyakarta in 2010.
The new exhibition at ARNDT will feature Jumaldi Alfi’s recent series Melting Memories - Re-Reading Landscape, Mooi Indies (2013). The series is inspired by the ‘Mooi Indie’ or ‘Indonesia Molek’ style of painting. Popularised in the Dutch colonial period, these paintings exemplified the nostalgic landscape visions of the Dutch East Indies. By placing his focus on ‘Mooi Indie’ paintings, Jumaldi is examining the potential historical roots of the modern Indonesian painting.
Established in 1994 as one of the first contemporary art galleries with an international profile in former East Berlin, ARNDT expanded its operations to the vibrant art landscapes of Asia – particularly Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. In its premises in Singapore, ARNDT presents its international and Asian program with solo exhibitions and curated shows of established and emerging artists.
