Eric Pradana

A graduate from ISI (Jogjakarta), The expressionist from Jawa Tengah strikes with hard hitting juxtaposition of silhouette bound subjects with impossible to hit focal points that brings forth the psyche of choice.

Even when Eric takes on seemingly darker subjects, he does so with enough energy that prevents them to bring bleakness to the audience. From his works the intonations of fabulistic visuals carries a spirit of open-ended progressions for his figures and the audience to whom they speak to.

Nice Struggle

110 x 90 cm

Exhibited in Flat Circle Stagnants

2024

"Journey is an inevitability for humans, and it will always be full of obstacles. Therefore, humans should travel with a peaceful heart, always maintaining hope and strong intentions. In this work, I symbolize this with a figure who is traversing a fresh green grassy path with a balloon of hope always floating and a smile that always accompanies the journey." “Perjalanan adalah suatu keniscayaan bagi manusia, dan tentunya akan selalu penuh rintangan dalam menempuh perjalanan tersebut. Karna itu manusia seharusnya menempuh jalan dengan hati yang damai dengan selalu menjaga harapan dan niat yang kuat. dan pada karya ini hal tersebut saya simbolkan dengan sosok figur yang sedang menempuh sebuah jalan rumput yang hijau segar dengan balon harapan yang selalu mengudara dan senyum yang selalu menyertai perjalanan tersebut” - Eric Pradana

The Mystery of Dreams

120 x 100 cm

Exhibited in Flat Circle Stagnants

2024

Time is eternal and humans live within it. Therefore, what happens today might have also happened in the past. This is why humans often have dreams that seem to come from nowhere. Perhaps these dreams are reflections of a past life, or perhaps they are just figments of our imagination.
