YABIKU HENRIQUE YUDI
Yabiku's work challenges the viewer's binary narratives, such as love and hate, order and chaos, and beauty and distortion. By combining graphics from vintage magazines with ready-made materials that belong to the realm of industry, far from the realm of art, he blurs the boundaries between works of art and consumables, entertainment and utility, cause and functional definition.
