Holiday

Bubbles, animals, body parts, and daily items, a diverse range of fragmented elements together form the iconic style of Agus TBR’s surrealist paintings. These strange yet fantastical images play as a testament to Agus TBR’s unconscious mind where the boundary of dream and reality is being challenged. After decades of self-recovering from his childhood traumas, Agus TBR found a pure land in art, relentlessly developing critical conversations with himself and the society he belongs to, using his art to narrate the bright and dark side of humanity. In Holiday (2024), Agus TBR showcases his deep reflection on the meaning and value of life, which revokes people’s yearning to return to a simple lifestyle within the contemporary context of urban development and mass consumerism.
