The Social Realism of Agan Harahap

One of our generation’s most prolific contemporary artists brings his solo exhibition to Singapore. Taking inspiration and appropriating paintings from Indonesian art maestros of the ’40s to ’60s, Agan Harahap reflects on his version of social realism in our current world: where different facets of culture vie for our attention amongst the noise of fake news, hoax and media wars that have become part of our society’s daily consumption.
