The works of Erica Hestu Wahyuni are infectious. They brighten up walls and the surrounding space, generating a positive, happy feeling all around. Her distinctive depiction of child-like fantasy in bold and vivid colours lures one into the magical imagination of her mind’s eye. Erica’s distinctive, colourful renditions have garnered her reputation as one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in Southeast Asia. Here, Erica celebrates different races, culture and architecture from around the world, each holding their own unique history and identity. What a gathering, and this is what the world needs, people appreciating and loving one another, to live peacefully and harmoniously. Erica’s first exhibition of sketches was held at Taman Budaya (Cultural Park), Yogyakarta in 1990. She has then participated in a number of group shows including 32nd Year of the Sanggar Bambu at Widya Manggala, Yogyakarta (1991), Women Imaging Women at the Cultural Centre in the Philippines (1999) and To Russia with Art at Yayasan Seni Rupa Indonesia in Moscow, Russia (2000).
