E d d i e H a r a
Born in 1957 in Salatiga, Java, Indonesia, Eddie Hara currently lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. Eddie Hara started off as a playful, childlike colourist; influenced by the European art movements including Trans-Avantguardia, Neue Wilde Movement and Fluxus, as well as subculture and underground expressions like graffiti, comics, street and anything unusual.
Living on and off in Europe and in Indonesia, Eddie Hara used to be a kind of marginal artist who was not afraid to give his opinions on political problems, sexism, gender issues and racial issues, environmental problems, the prevalent poverty and the resulting violence in our society. Despite this serious aspect in his art, his canvases which are populated by mutant women and strange animals display a solid dose of irony and humour.
