SaFtari This painting of wooden matches by Saftari seems
(b. Payakumbuh, W. Sumatra 1971) to be a commentary on our own society. He shows
the matches with their heads having two tones
Sensitive #3 of orange, one darker, and the other brighter,
almost yellow. This makes the matches appear to
2008 be lit, although it is not certain that they are. One
oil on canvas
200 x 200 cm lit match could set th whole set of matches up in
flames, just like our society.
