    lecturer I used to teach in Kindergarten while also working at Calista Digital Photo Studio as Graphic Designer
    in Printing Division. At home I also took orders such as pencil drawing portrait or caricature. The buyers
    usually were my friends.”
    Shout, love, and be loved,
    My new series is about the little girl, Gwen Silent,
    It's a metaphor of feeling, and vulnerability,
    Also of many things and events happened around me.
    Things that happened because of HIS permission,
    But which I never understand why it happened.”
    (Touch of Heaven by A.C. Andre Tanama)
  • Sobre artista

    Albertus Charles Andre Tanama, Andre Tanama, nascido em 1982 em Yogyakarta, Indonésia, é um artista versátil e professor no Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta. Obteve o seu Sarjana Seni com cum laude no ISI Yogyakarta em 2005 e completou o seu Magister Seni em 2010, também com cum laude. ​

    Na sua carreira artística, Tanama recebeu vários prémios. Em 2006, ganhou a segunda Trienal Seni Grafis Indonesia no Bentara Budaya Jakarta e foi reconhecido como um dos 40 melhores jovens artistas da Indonésia pela Galeria Jogja.

    Em 2007, recebeu o Prémio Académico de Arte I para gravura da FSR ISI Yogyakarta e uma bolsa para criação em gravura do Ministério da Educação Nacional. ​

    O trabalho de Tanama caracteriza-se por três características únicas:
    Wayang Monyong, Gwen Silent e Agathos. Wayang Monyong é uma deformação da cabeça humana, resultante de preocupações pessoais e quotidianas.

    Gwen Silent, uma menina de 4 a 5 anos de olhos fechados e sem boca, simboliza a discrepância entre a perceção e a realidade.

    Agathos atua como uma contraparte de Gwen Silent, semelhante ao princípio yin-yang, e representa o equilíbrio entre o mundo interior e exterior. ​

    O seu trabalho foi exibido nacional e internacionalmente, com exposições individuais incluindo “The Tales of Gwen Silent” no Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta e Jacarta, e “Agathos” na Langgeng Gallery, Magelang. Participou também em exposições coletivas em países como a Holanda, Singapura e Itália. ​

    Para além das suas atividades artísticas, Tanama trabalha como professor no ISI Yogyakarta, onde partilha o seu conhecimento e experiência com artistas emergentes. ​
