Surrealism is an art movement that emerged in the 1920s in Europe.
The Surrealism Movement in Indonesia began in the 1930s, where artists such as Affandi and S. Sudjojono began to explore the techniques and styles of surrealism in their art.
One of the famous examples of Indonesian Surrealism art is an Affandi painting entitled Scenery from above which features a woman who looks as if flying in the air.
Indonesian Surrealism Art often reflects social and political problems in the country, with artists using symbols and metaphors to criticize the government and society.
Indonesian artists such as FX Harsono and Heri Dono are famous for their works that combine elements of surrealism with Indonesian pop and traditional culture.
One of the young artists who stand out in the Indonesian Surrealism movement is Eko Nugroho, who often uses mural and graffiti techniques to describe life in the big cities of Indonesia.
Indonesian Surrealism art also often includes elements of nature, such as animals, plants, and landscapes, which indicate the relationship between humans and nature.
Many Indonesian artists inspired by the works of famous surrealism artists such as Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte, and use techniques such as collages and photomontage to create their works.
The surrealism movement in Indonesia is still growing today, with the increasing number of young artists who are interested in this technique and style.
Indonesian Surrealism Art has also become part of the global contemporary art movement, with artists' works such as Agus Suwage and Titarubi exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world.
