ROH Projects - Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo, Maria Taniguchi, and Patricia Perez Eustaquio Group Exhibition Invitation

Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo, Maria Taniguchi, and Patricia Perez Eustaquio Curated by Gary-Ross Pastrana 4 - 28 August 2016 ,  Opening : Thursday, 4 August 6pm onwards. ROH Projects, Equity Tower 40E, Jl Jend Sudirman Kav 52-53, Jakarta 12190 In collaboration with Silverlens Galleries, ROH Projects is pleased to present a group show curated by Gary-Ross Pastrana, that brings together three celebrated artists from the region: Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo (Bandung); Maria Taniguchi (Manila) and Patricia Perez Eustaquio (Manila). The three artists' distinctive accumulative acts in their respective studio practices display an in-depth exploration of the physical properties of their chosen materials. Through the utilization of photography and video as supplementary layers, Arin Dwihartanto Sunaryo, who collects fragments such as resin, minerals, volcanic ash particles, creates a multilayered expansion of painting to embody his gestures and document the process which had taken place, serving the purpose of a relic: preserved and hardened through time. Maria Taniguchi's works demonstrates similar sensitivity towards the slow-formation of nature's elements by contrasting it with her machine-like approach in creating objects ('brick paintings'), in order to indicate a new kind of relic, one that is wrought through human persistence and concentration. She also shows a video that incorporates elements of visual deconstruction through the tactile addition and removal of layers. With her graphite drawings on paper, Patricia Perez Eustaquio examines what has become part of her own nature – the artist's studio and the materials that surround her, as she thoroughly meditated the accumulation of a variety of paint blobs through a series of photographs she had taken. She then articulates these images on fabric, revealing a further nuance, sensitivity, and tactility to how were works may be experienced. Whether fragmented, layered, or accumulated, the processes involved in their works are accompanied by a kind of certainty—that the ideas behind them are derived from a close inspection of their materials. As relics, it could be said that their works have become the vestiges of our time: meticulously man-made yet ardently inspired by nature. And bringing their works together may reveal facets that belong to the Southeast Asian region in terms of how the three artists featured, namely Sunaryo, Taniguchi, and Eustaquio, continually explore materials, methods, and concepts to arrive at new forms.
