Feature Artist: Chrisna Fernand

Since 2012, he has initiated collectives, platforms, art programs, workshops, and book publishing in Yogyakarta, Including GB Corridor (Art and Activism),Barasub (Cartoonist Association & Sequential Art Forum), AndongBooks (Independent book fair), Broken Pitch (Performance artist playground).

Chrisna skilfully inserts satire, sarcasm and dark humor into his figurative paintings, which are heavily influenced by popular culture.
Initially, he entices the viewers with familiarity and comfort, afterwhich he constructs bold and subtle messages, occasionally, they might go over the viewers head.
