Brush! (pictured below) is among the images being displayed at an exhibition called Indonesian Eye: Fantasies and Realities at the Saatchi Gallery, London until 9 October 2011.
The exhibition offers an opportunity for Indonesia's contemporary art scene to reach an international audience and comprises a selection of paintings, sculptures and installations by 17 Indonesian artists.
Brush! is by artist Angki Purbandono who uses a scanner flat bed to capture images. Angki comments: 'By provoking a conventional perception about the photographic medium itself, I capture new ways and moments of interaction with my surroundings, without using a camera as my tool.'
The theme of the exhibition, fantasies and realities, pays tribute to Indonesia's ancient myths and legends while also reflecting the influence of modern Indonesia.
