Still: Silent/World
Meiro Gallery extends its heartfelt gratitude to Bentara Budaya Art Gallery and Jewels of Eden for their invaluable partnership and support in successfully presenting the AC Andre Tanama solo exhibition, Still: Silent World. The collaboration, dedication, and shared vision were instrumental in bringing this exhibition to life, creating a meaningful and inspiring experience for all who attended. We deeply appreciate the trust, professionalism, and commitment that made this special presentation possible, and we look forward to many more fruitful collaborations in the future.
The Gwen Silent character by Andre Tanama emerges as a quiet yet powerful presence—an introspective figure wrapped in stillness, carrying emotions that are felt more than spoken. Gwen Silent inhabits a world of subtle gestures and restrained expression, where vulnerability becomes strength and silence becomes language. Through soft contours, contemplative gazes, and carefully measured compositions, Tanama allows Gwen to embody the unspoken tensions of modern life—loneliness, resilience, longing, and quiet hope. She does not demand attention; instead, she invites reflection, drawing viewers inward to confront their own inner dialogues. In her calm exterior lies a profound depth, making Gwen Silent not merely a character, but a mirror to the silent battles and tender truths within us all.
AC Andre Tanama is a professional artist from Indonesia. While being active as a fine art lecturer in Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta (Indonesia Institute of the Arts), he is also being active creating visual artworks in various media such as drawing, printmaking, painting, and sculpture.
