‘Randomness’: solo exhibition by Farrah Faustine Tansri

Farrah usually paints objects such as flowers, animals, and abstract shapes that strike motion and dynamics. This exhibition is curated by Asikin Hasan.
This exhibition is currently running until Sunday, Sept 22 at Art: 1 New Museum, Central Jakarta. 10am-6pm, Tue-Sat; 10am-5pm, Sun. IDR97,000/person via Traveloka.
