Hendra Harsono (born in Kediri, 1983), also known as HeHe, is always been interested in working with painting,
drawing, resin toys, with premises based on his experiences in everyday life and issues of contemporary culture.
He maintains his signature childlike, surreal characters. Most of them are objects that all have characters and per-
sonalities as if they are all alive. HeHe is one of the young artists generation of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts
of early 2000 who were born mostly in early 1980s where many of the artists belong to a cluster coming up from
subcultures grown up within the paradoxes of Western multiculturalism and changing values in their own country,
MTV invasion, cable TV, internet, and neoliberalism. Thus, the traces of influences of Pop Culture, the Indie Move-
ment, graphic novels, ‘lowbrow art’, pop surrealism, street style fashion and more can be traces in HeHe's works.
He has held seven solo exhibitions, including 'Goodness' at Vivi Yip Art Room, Jakarta (2013); 'Invisible: the
unknown between us' at D-gallerie, Jakarta (2011) and 'Little House and the Prayer' at Richard Koh Fine Art, Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia (2010). As well as participating in various group exhibition, including recent exhibition 'Manifesto
6.0: Multipolar' at the National Gallery, Jakarta.
Hendra HeHe is the founding members of Ace House Collective, an artist collective established in Yogyakarta, 2011, which is active in the field of youth-pop culture that emphasize in the exploratory approach both in theory and practice, conceptually and contextually, as well as finding the possibilities on visual art perspective.
