Mariam Sofrina Solo Exhibition At DiaLoGue Artspace

This exhibition shows the latest works of Mariam Sofrina, a Bandung based painter. Her landscape paintings always show certain mood and strong impression. Apparently this comes from her exploration on the possibilities in landscape painting as a way to express her thoughts and feeling towards the worlds.

The tittle of the exhibition emphasize the relation between the outer-world with the inner-world. Landscape, is never be a mere subject matter of works or discourse since it is the space in which we live in. It is simply too big and in constant changing. For Mariam, there is the archetypal model that drives her in seeing the scenes. Hence, when she choose certain scene for her painting, the two worlds meet. The work of painting then become a dialogue process, between the-outer-uncontrolled-world with the-inner-desirable-world.
