OPENING EVENT | Arwin Hidayat 'It Turns Out I'm Still Breathing'
Event description
Mitchell Fine Art proudly presents the debut Australian solo exhibition of celebrated Indonesian artist Arwin Hidayat, ‘It Turns Out I’m Still Breathing’ from 29 July to 23 August in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
An opening night event will be held on Friday 1st August from 6 – 8pm with the artist in attendance.
Recently commissioned by Australian fashion brand Zimmermann for their new Beijing store, Arwin Hidayat is gaining international recognition for his dynamic artworks, which feature birds, serpents, and intriguingly distorted human forms.
His practice is deeply rooted in folk traditions, yet subtly engages with Indonesia’s socio-economic and moral landscape, weaving storytelling and cultural memory into each piece.
“Arwin’s work is a bold fusion of Indonesian tradition and fearless modern storytelling,” says Gallery Director Mike Mitchell. “We’re thrilled to introduce Australian audiences to his deeply personal and visually arresting practice.”
