Gallery: bruang


Title: bruang
Media: straw, enameled paper plate, white photocopy paper, edible color (amber), and black creped carton.
Dimension: approx 6 x 10 inch
Artist: Sekar
Tag: USD 3,100

It's rain in Jakarta, that time of the year when the city beckons with rugged political wits. Namely, how, after their salad days, some Gallic legends fade into ignominy, cliché or—worst of all—obesity (bruang), while others manage to grow shapely. In this latter category, think not only of Models or Olive but also of Sekar’s bruang. bruang emerge as the slimmest bear in the world. No, bruang is no way representing Evander Holyfield even it has only one ear. And so, while the very concept of a concept art is as stale as Mike Tyson's breath, the father of them all boogies on unfazed. In fact, as if to assert just how fresh bruang is, Bandai has considered its virtual game—author: Oo Nduk.

Gallery: tko


Title: tko
Media:
mixed (edible watercolor, drawing ink, and shredded tea by sariwangi) on photocopy paper.
Dimension:

While some escape to Mustique this time of year, we can't think of a better way to spend the holidays than with a cup of tea or two in Monte Carlo. After all, one can't find the same mix of messed-up tea royals, Japanese in kimonos and aristocrats with bad gambling habits in the Grenadines. That's what the peripatetic Sekar must have thought when she decided to present tko in the tiny principality. And the red color popped to the next ethereal level. Sekar’s
tko is a multifunction work of art. We can scratch its surface and make a glass of blush evening tea, with Oreo ofcourse—author: Oo Nduk.

Gallery: glas


Title: glas
Media: used plastic bottle, used hard paper carton, edible glue (it tastes eekk!)
Dimension: approx 2 x 3 inch
Artist: Sekar
Tag: USD 850 (free of charge for charities)

It is no way to put this glas to our Mesopotamian ancient crafts. Sekar’s glas either to its shape or facets, is indeed a contemporary art that naturally grown by our cruelly world. One such encounter is reminiscent of the kinky subversiveness that often lurked beneath the clean, minimalist surfaces of Sekar’s design. To say much more would ruin the puzzle, which is half the pleasure of perusing the art, so we'll leave it at this: find the nozzle!—author: Oo Nduk.

Glad those stairs were carpeted.

Slap me if you love Jesus.

Not quite getting this whole "MILF" phenomenon.

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Daddy didn't want me.

Ask me about the extra digit.

Grandma won't shut up.

Gallery: iting


Title: iting
Media:
paper box, black creped paper, faux eyes for dolls or any living pretender crafts that unable to blink (they are not safe to eat)

Sekar

Iting is Sekar’s first fable-art composite. It shows how she resembles Nyoman Nuarta or Sunaryo or Degas as iting’s vocal shape and hard color. What does this mean in practice? If a whale does not fit in the composition of your plate, you do not sketch around it like a passive, craven Mednyánszky—no, you uproot its benthos might and set its withered shell aflame so your art remains true to life. That is the fable-art artist's only obligation, to represent the truth, and to annihilate superfluous foliage when it interferes with that truth. And iting came dark—just an imagination--author: Oo Nduk

Gallery: muts


Title: muts
Media:
mixed (edible watercolor, drawing ink, and Styrofoam) on photocopy paper

Sekar’s brushstroke is improving with each day of strenuous, disciplined practice. This
muts is a gorgeously described the term of sci-art. Nothing hid. Muts is an ant colony labyrinth below the land surface—it shows by the horizon condemned some flower bushes and stones. At the end of the labyrinth lays white ant’s cocoon made from Styrofoam. Nothing hid. Even Sekar drawn the ants apparently eye catching—some are bigger than stones. The violetly-mauve whatsoever color is hip. It won't bite bytheway--author: Oo Nduk

Pixiee, I'm a Model
