Collection: KUH HARDJO

My paintings are inspired by Indonesian culture, especially its socio culture. I was born in Surakarta, Central Java, where one of Indonesia’s socio cultures, Javanese, is deep within the people and surrounding. Most of my figurative paintings are about the traditional vehicle called Becak with its rider. They are the most noticeable icon in my hometown which is proudly adored by the world. Now with the cars and modern vehicles, Becak is being forgotten bit by bit.
