From the 1870 built Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics Jakarta, one of the few historical objects that I found interesting to capture.
Thank you all for stopping by and have a great weekend!
Teguh Ostenrik’s art of scrap metal
Teguh Ostenrik has been working with many media, but the ones that I always like are his installations of scrap metals. You might have seen my documentation of Bulan Berbunga, one of his remarkable installation work in one of ArtRepublic’s issue. Here are the rest of the best shots.
I hope you like them, thank you for stopping by and have a great week ahead!

Olivia and Tasmika – the unofficial, incomplete unabridged story
Here’s from a wedding where no tears were shed, and no laughters were too hard. A Chinese wedding where tradition was not compromised (yes, the three prayers ceremony was practiced), and another happy, crazy newlywed was formed. Congratulations to Olip and Taz, and thank you for involving me in your celebration.
the sting
If you ever wonder why on earth does a bee sting hurt….

In fond memory of Ralph Juwono, a dear friend who is missed by much.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. [Revelation 14:13]

from ArtStage 2015 – Bent from Peng Kuan Jun
I love fairies. Maybe I got it from my daughter. So when I guess it’s just natural that I like this beautiful piece from Taiwanese artist Peng Kuan Jun in ArtStage 2015 the moment I saw it. Made from bronze and glass, I find the colours and transparency created on the wings are just amazing. What do you think?
from ArtStage 2015 – Beyel and her Portrait
It’s been a long time since I visited the annual ArtStage Singapore. So when I did this year, it amazed me. There were so many mixed media works, and the inclusion of multimedia into art is —at least for me— overwhelming.
The work below is made by Isabell Beyel, a German artist born in 1968 and (interestingly) studied law. Entitled Portrait, this 140 x 100 cm piece consists of a mixed media collages and acrylic on plexiglass. Among the medium I identified were mice traps for the neck, hair rolls for the lips, assortements of wine corks for the skin, keys and fan for the eyes, and if I’m not mistaken sandal hangers from a branded name for the hair. Oh, and she also used tile spacers for the dress.
I just love her work, and I hope you do too!
a Christmas Wish
Greetings all, allow me to wish you a wonderful Christmas, a fabulous end year celebration, and an awesome 2015!
