Cut-out drawing collages by Iwan Effendi (b. 1979, Jogjakarta), currently showing in his solo exhibition Co-Presence at the gallery until July 12, 2026. Open throughout the weekend from 12 to 6pm. โ€” A professional puppeteer with Papermoon Puppet Theatre, Iwan uses his independent art practice as a space to experiment with and incubate ideas, stories, and characters that may later find their way into Papermoonโ€™s productions. Although his drawings often possess a childlike sensibility and whimsical charm, they are undercut by a darker psychological edge, suggesting deeper reflections on human nature, morality, and the coexistence of innocence and evil. โ€” Artworks details: (1) In the Woods, 2026. Charcoal, soft pastel, pencil, and aluminium on paper, 30 ร— 33 cm. (2) Layered Face, 2026. Charcoal, soft pastel, pencil, and aluminium on paper, 25 ร— 20 cm. (3) Order, 2026. Charcoal, soft pastel, pencil, and aluminium on paper, 42 ร— 33 cm. (4) Taken, 2026. Charcoal, soft pastel, pencil, and aluminium on paper, 49 ร— 40 cm. by @_iwaneffendi_

ara contemporary is pleased to share installation views of โ€˜Co-Presenceโ€™, a solo exhibition by Iwan Effendi, presented in collaboration with The Back Room, Kuala Lumpur. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and puppetry, Iwan Effendi explores the porous boundaries between the self and its performance. โ€˜In Co-Presenceโ€™, the body emerges as both subject and vessel, where distinctions between puppeteer and puppet, consciousness and physical form, begin to blur. Known for his distinctive figures with rounded heads, bead-like eyes, and restrained expressions, Iwan constructs spaces that oscillate between innocence and unease. Fragments of dreams, memories, and imagined narratives surface throughout the works, reflecting on the tension between presence and absence, immersion and expression. โ€” 12 June โ€“ 12 July 2026 The Back Room, Kuala Lumpur taken in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by @_iwaneffendi_

Under Papermoon, Iwan has become renowned for his distinct style of depicting figures, featuring large, round heads with beadlike eyes and tiny, worried mouths, giving off the impression of childlike innocence and a mix of wonder and fear. His beloved, larger-than-life puppets (known as boneka in Indonesian) have delighted audiences with their unique appearances, impressive mechanisms for movement, and immersive set designs and stories. He extends the immersiveness of puppet theatre to exhibition-making, creating sculptures and murals to accompany his artworks. ๐™ฒ๐š˜-๐™ฟ๐š›๐šŽ๐šœ๐šŽ๐š—๐šŒ๐šŽ will be no different, and will feature a site-specific, mixed-media charcoal mural alongside several new paintings on canvas.ย  Please join us and Iwan for the opening reception of ๐™ฒ๐š˜-๐™ฟ๐š›๐šŽ๐šœ๐šŽ๐š—๐šŒ๐šŽ this coming Thursday, June 11th from 7pm onwards. โ€” ๐™ฒ๐š˜-๐™ฟ๐š›๐šŽ๐šœ๐šŽ๐š—๐šŒ๐šŽ A solo exhibition by Iwan Effendi 12 June โ€“ 12 July 2026 ๐Ÿ“The Back Room, Kuala Lumpur Presented in collaboration with @aracontemporary.
