Iqi Qoror's surreal figurative paintings are arresting in their earthy palettes offset by pops of fluorescent textile embroidery. His artworks revolve around questions of trust, interspersed with fragments of modernity set against his own social experience. Qoror's blend of portraiture, pop-textiles, and surrealistic imagery invokes curiosity, confusion, and a playfully honest connection with our contemporary world. Each artwork represents a point of self-reflection: "We live in a catastrophic world...I express my response through my works and I'm constructing a question of our madness."
This original mixed-media painting measures 36 inches high by 28 inches wide. Qoror incorporates wool embroidery onto acrylic portraits to add dimension and mystery to this artwork. This painting is signed and dated by the artist on the front lower left corner. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique work.
A native of Indonesia, Iqi Qoror started his career as a professional Visual Artist with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art. Qoror's combination of different media merges not only different art practices such as painting and embroidery but past and present as well. The combination of modern expressionistic style of portraits without faces with pops of color render his artworks unforgettably visceral.
Qoror constantly challenges himself to be more experimental and versatile in his art practice, from installation to mixed media painting. Through this innovation-fueled journey, Qoror has established himself as one of the fastest rising stars of the Indonesian art scene. He has been labeled an emerging artist to watch who knows how to move distinctly between representational, figurative, and surrealist imagery. His artworks have been exhibited in international hot spots such as Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, and Los Angeles and have been collected worldwide.
