Angling
關於
Based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the visual artist Angling (b. 1999) creates surrealistic paintings that engages with complex and paradoxical notions of the unconsciousness.
Informed by theorists such as Carl Jung and inspired by the seemingly pure and innocent minds of children, Angling unsurprisingly centers child-like subjects in his paintings.
More specifically, he identifies the constantly developing inner child of every adult as the emotional centre to how we navigate the many occurrences of life—moving through sadness, anger, confusion, happiness, and so on.
Awash in strong and luscious pink tones, Angling’s work espouses a post-modern punk and goth sensibility that constantly rejects the male gaze and instead reflects the artist’s inner child.
Angling has previously exhibited in cities such as Los Angeles, London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, and throughout Indonesia.
