If you spent your Saturday mornings as a kid glued to the TV screens watching Power Rangers, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Voltron, then this one might just be for you. Jakarta-born illustrator and motion graphics artist Ardhira Putra’s latest exhibition at Heartware Store Gallery, Henshin Atomic Daydream, is a combination of superheroes and retro-pop nostalgia. Imagine stepping into your childhood cartoon – only much cooler.
This vibrant showcase features brand-new illustrations and art prints by the artist alongside limited-edition collectibles. One of the highlights is HeartwaveRobo, a vinyl toy created by Ardhira in collaboration with the gallery. Each is hand-numbered, with only just 100 pieces available. Translation: if you want to add it to your figurine collection, then better act fast.
Be sure to also catch a special artist session on opening day, where Ardhira will share the inspirations behind his latest showcase and how he turned his childhood obsessions into a colourful reflection of adulthood.
