Both artworks in the ‘Tension’ series juxtaposes a spaceman against traditional arabesque pattern. This painting by Yogie Achmad Ginanjar represents the conflict and tension between modernity and Islam. As a Muslim and also an academic, the artist feels this conflict on a highly personal level. Edward Said’s Orientalism inspired many of the topics in his paintings. The way western thought process puts everything in binary opposition often stunts the possibility of tolerance and mutual understanding. As exemplified in Ginanjar’s ‘Absorption’ series, the two tattooed figures seem to embody polarizing values from the intricate traditional arabesque ornament before them, and yet they seem to be in a state of calm. The artist reminds us as his audience to not be too quick in classifying ideas as a binary opposition; to not be too quick to judge as things that might seem contradictory could be harmonious. Often enough, the artist also finds his art making process a cathartic release from the mental dilemma and confusion he felt. Through art the artist was able to find beauty in chaos, confusion, sadness, and contradiction.
