Arkiv Vilmansa

Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilmansa paints like pop and draws like a cartoonist, a beautiful blend of day-glo colour and sweeping line makes for a fine collection of powerful paintings. He's been painting, illustrating and designing cartoon-style figures since 2005. Almost the moment after completing his Bachelor degree in Architecture Arkiv took a sharp career turn into the urban arts and design and hasn't looked back since. His debut was marked with his very first vinyl figurine called “Arkiv Instant", since then he's produced many exciting paintings, illustrations and vinyl toys including a redesign of Mickey Mouse for Disney Asia.

There's a discrete undertone of social critique in his work too, cartoon violence and death being a regular theme in his earlier works. However his recent exhibition at the Vincent Michael Gallery shows a change in direction, offering up a far more decorative affair, almost psychedelic in colour and complexity.
