Harling Bassukarno Indonesian Artists
Harling Bassukarno (born 6 November 1984) is a generation of Indonesian Modern Artists known as painters and muralists with the “Surrealism Decorative Modern” style with the concept of dimension penetrating colors, which combines three painting style concepts, namely surrealism, decorative and abstract, besides paintings and murals, he also develops his idealism into techno music.
He made these three concepts into one masterpiece, which made him known as the Millennial Generation of Modern Indonesian Artists.
Images and figurations that have been mixed with cultural history with contemporary colors, make his work form a social critique of resistance to maintain an idea of the concept of cultural modernization to blend with the side of modern culture.
** Art is a mental understanding of rebellion from the subconscious which defines a meaning of honesty in work.
* Dream are imaginations when we think dreams are only sleeping flowers, but in fact dreams are akso messages from the imagination.
** The pursuit of meaning is the pursuit of an influential force in a work of art.
* Walking with time is a long journey, when we stop to rest then time will continue and will never stop.
* I dance on a canvas surrounded by angels of crazy color and dimension.
** My dream of seeing, hearing and feeling the vibrations of the imagination coming from the cold and blue stretching sea.
* I have repeatedly heard the sound of nature that merges with the roar of the waves and violent storms, I will dissolve in the belief that you have bandaged loyalty.
** I am amazed at your coolness, so I beg you to pour your calm throughout my soul and keep me in the faith and faithfulness that is in my breath.
