22 July - 4 August 2024
Let us introduce Kelompok 17 (Group 17). They are an art community that unites artists from beginners to masters. This group of painters consist of women from all walks of life regardless of age, occupation and religion.
From 22 July to 4 August 2024, Kelompok 17 showcased their artwork in paintings, sculptures and photography by their sister group Asthaanggana. All of them have chosen Anak & Budaya (Children and Culture) for their theme. The exhibition focuses on cultural preservation for the next generation and how Indonesian women can safeguard the art legacy by supporting one another in creativity and their art journey as a strong community.
Mrs.Shanti Soedarpo opened the exhibition with a passionate speech. Being a prominent art collector and a dear friend of Hadiprana's family, her presence in presenting the exhibition to the public made it more symbolic for the art community to reminisce about the core values of what makes good Indonesian art. On top of striving for a higher standard, Indonesian artists are also obliged to make the country's name known through creativity and innovative artwork.
The Opening was a great reunion and a venue of joy for all the guests. Many art enthusiasts and admirers viewed the artworks and were keen to know the artists and photographers up close and personal. Congratulations to Kelompok 17. Please keep the fire on for the next great exhibition!
