PENJUAL TEMBAKAU

In this artwork, Rudy Mardijanto presents us with another Javanese cultural habit. This time is conversing while buying and smoking tobacco. The seller is the woman in blue Kebaya, and the men are trading with her. She has a tobacco cigarette in her hand to convince the man in yellow and green stripes to purchase it, while the man in white is ready to hand her over the money to enjoy the cigarette just like his two friends. Rudy Mardijanto put this entrepreneur lady in the centre of the composition to make us realize that she is the centre of the activity and not just the complementary figure of the society.
