Call Me Sinden

Javanese artist Anton Papo works in his characteristic, modern style to offer the image of a traditional sinden dancer. He works with acrylics, ink, and graphite, portraying the performer as she kneels in front of a microphone, captured in dark tones against a yellow background. Papo hopes that he can use his work to interest people in the traditions of his country. The painting is inscribed with 'call me sinden.'
