"Digital Repro Lukisan: Musafir"
Bandung, 2022
Description: Somehow out of the dozens of paintings that Ros Magdalene's husband would burn, the painting "Musafir" seemed to ask to be photographed. This is the fourth of seven paintings we have photographed.
Ros Magdalena's husband ended his career as a painter by burning almost all of his paintings packaged in the form of "happening art" performances in the courtyard of makassar's "Societet de Harmonie" building, in January 2002 after exhibiting. To release the accumulation of disappointment to the low appreciation of the artist and his work at that time.
"It's not just about the money. Money won't be enough to buy all the hard work and spiritual journeys from the artist. It's a fundamental problem, humans have failed to humanize other human beings, not just artists."
Using a 1MP mobile phone camera attempts to photograph some of the paintings before they are burned. Managed to photograph 7 paintings, blurry, dirty, and low resolution, with which I made a digital repro of the painting of ros Magdalena's late husband.
7 series of digital painting repros are valued quite highly for two purposes. First, for the completion of the writing of a biographical novel, secondly to defend and revive the human values I tasted from him.
