Northern Star: Art that comes from the shadows in Indonesia

Friday 06 September 2019

By Javier Encalada

NAS alumnus Jumaadi has a new exhibition at Lismore Regional Gallery.

Indonesian artist Jumaadi brings his new exhibition Comes from the Shadow to the Northern Rivers.

Jumaadi said one of his major influences is the Indonesian art of shadow theatre, or wayang kulit. Although there is darkness in the work, this is constantly offset by light, whimsy and humour.
