Through a VHS player, we enter the hyper-colored, funky universe of Ardhira Putra, a Singapore-based Indonesian artist who’s been turning his nostalgia into eye-popping works of art. He populates his illustrations and animations with characters, ad tags, and pop visuals inspired by the 1980s and 90s—all with a backdrop of swaying palm trees. This city pop style acts as a throwback to his beloved boyhood and the heydays of laissez-faire capitalism in Asia.
Sometimes the best and most special moments are just enjoying the simple things.
Enjoying the simple breeze, the sun,
Driving a car to the closest supermarket,
Sitting with your closest person and not needing to talk about anything,
Reading a book, cleaning your room, playing random sounds with
the guitar and mini piano,Or you can listen to the best music with this vinyl player.
