Addy Debil

Srisasanti Gallery and Museum Of Toys present Feeling Fluorescent, Addy Debil’s solo exhibition. In this exhibition, Addy Debil plays with the idiom “feeling blue” which is often used to depict sadness, and alters it into “feeling fl uorescent”, a refl ection of the enthusiasm of people who are just getting out of the pandemic, like the light of fl uorescent colors coming out of a dark background.

Addy often uses the color blue in the majority of his works. His fascination with the color blue derived from the fact that it is often considered a mysterious and rare color in nature. The duality of positive and negative meanings associated with the color blue also appeals to Addy. On one hand, blue can represent calmness and serenity, evoking feelings of stability. On the other hand, blue is also often associated with sadness, depression, and coldness (hence the idiom of feeling blue).

As the audience moves through the exhibition space, they will encounter Addy’s artworks that use bold, vibrant colors. The use of fl uorescent paint off ers a unique presentation, transforming the doodles into glowing, otherworldly creations. The audience will be presented with colors that evoke various emotions and sensations, infl uencing their perceptions of the world around them. Through this exhibition, Addy invites us to join him on a journey of discovery and exploration, breaking away from our comfort zones and embracing diff erent possibilities through colors.
