Featured Artists


‘THRESHOLDS’ brings together the work of nine artists who chart their individual spiritual, political, physical or mythological journeys of transformation. Each artist charts their own individual journey of transformation: spiritual, political, physical or mythological. Forming a chorus of unique experiences, each shaped by the crossing of a ‘threshold’, the works selected reflect an understanding of the coexistence of light and dark; a dynamic whereby opposite forces are not at odds but held in balance.

Galuh Anindita


Galuh Anindita lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. She is a multidisciplinary artist, jewellery designer. In 2015, she founded MAHIJA, a contemporary jewellery label through which she explores adornment as both an artistic and cultural language. Her collections merge craftsmanship with symbolic form, drawing from ancestral heritage, spirituality, and material memory. Her work reflects her ongoing interest in themes of mortality, remembrance, and resilience. Across her practice, Anindita reimagines the body as a living archive and a site of transformation – where philosophy, ritual, and feminine identity converge with contemporary design.

Arahmaiani


Arahmaiani lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. She works across painting, performance, video and installation as a means to explore social and cultural phenomena, including political systems, violence against women, and environmental justice. Arahmaiani sees these problems that seem too big to fix immediately and she sees creativity as the constant continuation of understanding that might one day bring about such solutions.

Christine Ay Tjoe


Christine Ay Tjoe lives and works in Bandung. Employing a graphic vocabulary of mark-making, smudging, etching and deliberate colouration, Ay Tjoe’s paintings explore the interconnectedness of the mind, body and soul. Much like the rest of her works, the piece currently on display features intricately layered marks, applied with a gestural fervour against a beige background that it appears as if form is emerging from a smooth void. Where this piece differs from the rest is in its absence of colour. The imagery appears to be undergoing a constant unfoldment, representing the sometimes strong and sometimes tenuous link between the mind and body; the individual and society; form and subject.

Nadiah Bamadhaj


Nadiah Bamadhaj lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Bamadhaj works across collage, drawing, installation, digital video, and sculpture, focusing on the social intricacies of life within Indonesian society. Born to a Malaysian muslim father and a mother of Scottish and New Zealand descent, Nadiah’s work has an essence of how shaky our geographical belonging can be. This comes through her interest in how notions of personhood are tied with the place. Further enriching this web of connections are political, historical, religious, ethnic, and sexual identities. In today’s hyper-connected world, there’s little definition between local and global. This accounts for the billowing quality of her work in The Hari which entrances with its deep, fleeting textures.

Kei Imazu


Kei Imazu lives and works in Bandung, Indonesia. She studied at Tama Art University, Tokyo. Imazu’s works address Indonesia’s colonial histories and the multiple stories and folklores shared across the archipelago, which often contain parallel themes to global mythological narratives. The digital sketches that form the basis for Kei’s paintings embody the speedy blurring of reality in our Information age. Random images bump rather than crash into each other in the resultant works. Her piece exhibited at The Hari Hong Kong is one of her softer compositions where form seems to melt into itself like the gentle onrush of sleep.

Ines Katamso


Ines Katamso is an Indonesian-French artist based in Bali. Her work interlaces scientific and spiritual perspectives, exploring concepts of life. Her practice has evolved from observation of microorganisms and palaeontology to a more recent focus on botany. Her practice reflects on ecological fragility and resilience, situating local materials, craft traditions, and ancient myths within global conversations on the Anthropocene.

I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih


I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni) was born in Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia. She later lived in Ubud, Indonesia, where she trained in the Pengosekan style of Balinese painting with I Dewa Putu Mokoh. Over the course of her career Murni explored female identity, sexuality and the body through intensely personal and vividly imagined worlds.

Citra Sasmita


Citra Sasmita lives and works in Bali, whose practice retraces female narratives in Balinese society by tapping into their ancient myths and iconography. Echoes of her time working as a short story illustrator for the Bali Post can be felt through the bold colours and fantastical imagery of her pieces. By regularly using Kamasan, a traditional material used exclusively by men in the 15th century to relate Hindu epics, she reclaims the material for narrating the female experience that has been marginalised throughout history. That perhaps explains why the women in her scenes seem to be undergoing constant flux. The transformation are bizarre, but ultimately harmonious.

Jennifer Tee


Jennifer Tee lives and works in Amsterdam. Working across sculpture, installation, performance, and collage, Tee explores experiences of cultural hybridity, identity and language. Jennifer’s interdisciplinary practice features a gentle use of materials that are bursting with the history of their traditions. Her Tampan Tulip series, for example, use pressed tulip petals to depict motifs drawn from Tampan, a ceremonial cloth from Southern Sumatra. Cultures and traditions crossed through this important trade route, which is apt because Tampan usually represented ships with the mast branching into the tree of life, evoking souls continuing into new lives. That her father migrated from Indonesia to the Netherlands adds another layer of interest for Jennifer in the movement of people and cultures. Exploring how the tension between culture, language, and destruction articulate questions of land rights, belonging, and ecology truly places her practice on multiple thresholds.
