ARKIV VILMANSA
Arkiv Vilmansa (b.1979 in Bandung), lives and works in Bandung, Indonesia. Arkiv is an Indonesian contemporary artist. Known for his cartoon, characters inspired painting, which emphasized two-dimensional forms and bold outlines with vivid and vibrant colors. Arkiv’s work visually influenced by street art, toys, fashion, nature and subculture with childhood memories as his anchor.
Trained as an architect, Arkiv found his work ethic and method to be more structured and critical, while being able to keep his artistic expression raw and liberating. Driven by curiosity and love for the visual arts, Arkiv explores the boundaries of paints and paintings. This resulted in various medium and unique visual works that range from painting, toys, prints, and sculptures. In 2017, Arkiv discovered a formula for controlling the painting surface and texture.
For three years, vibrant and vivid colors, organic canvas shapes, surface, and paint textures have been his signature, as he chose to explore non-figurative paintings. Arkiv embodies this newly discovered discovery in his cartoon character painting. His colors, shapes, and lines were gleaned and influenced by creative geniuses in the industry that he respected such as Takashi Murakami and nigo.
