Rhythm, Relation, Resilience is a group exhibition by Southeast Asian artists Farhan Siki, Agus TBR, Raduan Man, and Choerodin Roadyn from Indonesia and Malaysia.
Led by Farhan Siki, winner of the UOB Painting of the Year Indonesia 2022, this exhibition brings together over forty paintings executed in oil, acrylic, and synthetic enamel. While painting serves as a shared medium, each artist approaches it with distinct rhythms and visual strategies. Together, they invite viewers to follow the pulse of images and symbols, and to consider how individuals negotiate their position within society, within nature, and in relation to one another.
Agus TBR works through rhythms of accumulation and distortion. Scattered symbols, fractured figures, and overlapping forms carry traces of personal trauma, post-colonial memory, and environmental unease. Burning landscapes, horses, and dismembered bodies recur as charged motifs, giving form to an ongoing struggle between humanity, nature, and the demands of modern civilisation.
In contrast, Raduan Man and Choerodin Roadyn articulate more reflective rhythms—one grounded in human relationships, the other in the inner space of imagination and spirit. Raduan Man traces a restrained, intimate rhythm shaped by emotional closeness, where layered colour and repeated gestures echo the ebb and flow of lived relationships.
Choerodin Roadyn extends this inward movement into a dreamlike register. His works unfold at a slower tempo, where memory, spirituality, and imagination converge. Fantastical creatures and symbolic forms inhabit grand architectural spaces, opening contemplative zones that invite reflection, reverie, and dialogue. Together, these practices reveal how relationships in Southeast Asia are continually negotiated amid social, cultural, and environmental transformation.
Rather than offering fixed narratives, Rhythm, Relation, Resilience invites viewers to attune themselves to shifting tempos of relationship. Through rhythms of confrontation, intimacy, and reverie, the exhibition reflects how connections are formed, tested, and sustained in Southeast Asia today.
