The works of Erica Hestu Wahyuni are infectious. They brighten up walls and the surrounding space, generating a positive, happy feeling all around. The artist conveys the magnificent scenery at a funfair or as the title suggests a Wonderland. Her distinctive depiction of child-like fantasy in bold and vivid colours lures one into the magical imagination, exploration and fantasy.
Erica’s first exhibition of sketches was held at Taman Budaya (Cultural Park), Yogyakarta in 1990. She has then participated in a number of group shows including 32nd Year of the Sanggar Bambu at Widya Manggala, Yogyakarta (1991), Women Imaging Women at the Cultural Centre in the Philippines (1999) and To Russia With Art at Yayasan Seni Rupa Indonesia in Moscow, Russia (2000). Her solo exhibition was held at Mondecor Museum and Art Gallery, Jakarta in conjunction with Chap Goh Meh festival in 2013. |
