Gallery Introduction
This is the third of a series of exhibitions of the same name presenting the work of
artists who were exhibited at Komaneka Art Gallery when they were up-and-coming
artists. Komaneka was a sort of birthplace in which they were presented to the wider
world. Afterwards they were free to develop themselves and venture into the world,
becoming successful artists in their own right.
his exhibition celebrates the recent work of one Indonesian artist Hanafi — who
came into the fold of Komaneka Gallery in the 1990s when they were young men and
who have since matured to international recognition. In this sense, the exhibition is a
kind of homecoming, a symbolic journey back to their roots, back to the place where
they were born as artists — bringing their new art to a place they called home.
