"In each illustration, which are created in Photoshop using a Wacom pen, figurative drawing is rendered through a screen print style - subtly goopy, majorly scatty, these colourful works look like they're from an alien fanzine for a dystopian nightclub."
""Imperfect textures help me translate internal experiences into visual forms that feel more honest and alive," says Reda, who somehow makes pixellation look screen printed and digital drawing look like splatters of blow-pens and painterly excess."
""It's a way to recognise human limitations. We always want to become more, to reach something freer or more ideal, yet there is always a distance that cannot be fully crossed. That is where fantasy exists: as a space to hold hope, small madnesses and desires that are sometimes difficult to express.""
Redi Adi Pratama's illustrations embody a punk spirit, characterized by a screen print style that merges figurative drawing with imaginative narratives. His concept of 'neo post tresholdism' combines everyday objects with dark themes, influenced by music that guides the viewer through his work. The illustrations reflect a fusion of dystopian moods and spirituality, inspired by fantasy atmospheres. Reda emphasizes the importance of imperfect textures in conveying honest internal experiences, highlighting the tension between human limitations and the desire for idealism, where fantasy serves as a space for hope and expression.
