Nonfrasa is delighted to present ‘…𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘴’, a solo exhibition by Sastra Wibawa. Exploring repetition, restraint, and the subtle tension between structure and disintegration, Wibawa’s latest paintings appear initially as measured grids and restrained forms. Yet, what begins as a disciplined monochrome unfolds into a complex, rhythmic study of change.

“They float. What are the kind of things floating in an image? A variety of gestures, different articulations, a human language. It is a singular way of coming to sense with what are beyond our knowing. We are happy with it, for as such we became aware that we exist, as part of a bigger state that we may never fully comprehend, but can feel [...] Paintings offer a layered view of the scene. One reality, a two and a three events at distances of different measures. Like a long stanza with consistent rhyming schemes. As sublime almost as endless ripples afloat a body of water, a reflection of light that continues to exist. Ever increasing as well as decreasing. A river that never is in the same state even though observed in silence.”
