For OPPO Art Jakarta Virtual 2020, Nue Prastowo feature animals in action. He captures the animals in a witty, simple and innocent. The choice of pastel color hue makes his painting light and easy. Despite the innocent portrayal, Nue’s paintings hold a profound aspect of humankind. His “Stronger Together” is depicting a bear that protects other animals from dinosaurs. The formation of the objects reflect the nature of people, pantagonis and antagonist.
He portrays this conflict with a dash of humor. Nue’s works also capture the value of love and affection as portrayed in “Fluttering Heart”, a Dinosaur couple in the lake, a sweet and romantic one indeed. The choice of color, pink for the lake, works well in creating the image of love and affection. Nue’s works have a distinctive character which he earned from his contemplation during the pandemic, including intimacy, hope, and optimis.
