de Braga by ARTOTEL is once again holding a contemporary art exhibition featuring artist Rangga Maulana Koto, with the theme "Minorhythm." This marks Rangga's first solo exhibition. "Minorhythm" is an art piece that combines visual elements with the deep resonance of the language of minority expression.
In this exhibition, visitors are presented with visual works that offer open interpretations formed from two main concepts. First, "minorhythm" emerges from the extended language of expression derived from minorities, voices from the margins, or the marginalized. Second, "minorhythm" is borrowed from diatonic tones in modern music, which generally have a somber, deep, and mysterious quality. These two key points provide a path to delve deeper into the artist's creative process—what, who, and how Rangga's art takes shape. Rangga explores canvas materials through acrylic paint using specific techniques that form elements of lines, spatial depth, typography, and color blends that define each piece's title.
Reza Farhan, General Manager of de Braga by ARTOTEL, explained, “In line with the hotel's vision and mission, which promotes art and botany, de Braga by ARTOTEL is open and ready to facilitate collaborations with local contemporary artists. We are committed to creating a platform that supports artistic and cultural dialogue and serves as a gathering place for artists and art enthusiasts. We believe that art has the power to unite various perspectives and backgrounds and spark constructive discussions.
"Minorhythm" is an artwork that combines visual elements with the profound resonance of minority expression. How this expression can create a new rhythm that enriches and broadens artistic dialogue. We hope this exhibition will become a platform for dialogue and awareness of the diversity of voices in our society. We invite the public to experience the artistic journey and the strength of this perspective firsthand. We hope this event will not only serve as an exhibition but also facilitate collaboration between artists and visitors, expanding the network of the art community around us. We greatly appreciate your presence at this event, and we hope you can engage in exciting discussions during the exhibition. Let us celebrate art together, deepen connections between individuals, and create a richer and more diverse art ecosystem.”
The exhibition will take place at ARTSPACE on the 1st and 2nd floors of de Braga by ARTOTEL, Jalan Braga no. 10, Bandung, from September 19 to November 19, 2024, and is free to the public.
