Yustoni Volenteero aka Toni and I Nyoman Agus Wijaya aka Koming presents recent work from a period of personal self-introspection. ‘Apocalypse’ although more commonly associated with the battle of Armageddon or the end of the world actually originates from the Greek meaning “revelation”. In this context it becomes a desirable type of framework for Toni and Koming to present and deconstruct their individual stories. Through their chosen medium of painting and three dimensional objects the artists introduce audiences to their curious narratives by juxtaposing iconographies that relate to animals, landscape and human figures.

The Apocalypse represents a kind of disclosure that deliberately exposes the merging and subsequent transformation between the personal and public spheres. However can these high nuanced revelations steeped in personal languages be successfully communicated to the public? Like many personal and purposefully ambiguous artistic statements, meaning is often conveyed through traces and fragments of articulated and intuitive thoughts. Therefore, The Apocalypse could be interpreted as a series of quotations and visions from a continuing stream of visual consciousness. What results is an exhibition of multiple fragments that make a disjointed but rich and varied whole.
