Adam de Boer's latest paintings reveal the profound connections between his Dutch-Indonesian heritage and the contemporary landscape of Southern California, highlighting themes of migration and cultural exchange.
Through his innovative use of batik combined with oil painting, de Boer invites viewers to reflect on the nostalgic and modern aspects of California's evolving urban environment.
With "Edge City," de Boer aims to evoke the aesthetics of Mooi Indie, intertwining his warm memories of California with a larger narrative of decolonization.
The meandering lines of batik in de Boer’s work serve as a metaphor for Southern California's diverse, dynamic landscape, urging audiences to reconsider its history and future.
