Erica Hestu Wahyuni has commanded a huge following for her Naïve-like works on a deliriously happy world of peace, togetherness and bounty. The ‘Happy Family’ here alludes to its Chinese descent as can be seen by the ba qua, the Taoist eight trigrams and the clothes worn by the nine figures who are surrounded by a menagerie that includes a cow, pandas, birds and cats. Born in Yogyakarta, Erica has been painting since primary-school days before enrolling at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Yogyakarta and the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow, Russia. Her early mentors were Suharto PR and Herry Wibowo.
