Venture into a dream world where both Mother Nature and man can coexist harmoniously through artist Galih Suseno's light-hearted paintings featuring endearing characters in fantastical scenes. Being closely tied to Javanese culture where each mountain, tree, river, and sea is believed to house a guardian spirit, Galih's characters, known as the Locious, embody these spiritual entities.
From afar, the artist’s works reflect the Pointillism movement. However upon closer look, the adorable characters reveal a richly textured quality that embodies his distinctive artistic signature.
Having lost his childhood village due to modernisation, Galih feels strongly for the conservation of the environment and aims to bridge the gap between humanity and nature. Amidst these joyful canvases, we're prompted to reflect on pressing topics such as climate change and sustainability.
