Indonesian artist Oky Rey Montha is known for his eccentric surrealist style of paintings that combines pop culture with gothic elements, creating a macabre environ through his works. Most of his inspiration comes from personal experiences with friends and loved ones, including his girlfriend at the time.
Brigitta (Lot 116), the present lot, is an interesting interpretation of KyRe's (the artist's moniker) deep admiration of his closest companion. A voluptuous-looking female figure is portrayed to be the center of his composition. In this dreamlike work, KyRe immortalises Brigitta to be the centre of the canvas, sitting at her throne with an inviting demeanour, flashing her salem pink underwear beneath the regal general coat that she is wearing. Hiding her alluring facial features behind the tight-fitting mask, she is holding a freshly unloaded gun on her left hand and ruling sceptre, completed with the presence of an eagle on her tattooed right hand, giving a sense of full authority.
This mysterious charm of Brigitta is seen as tantalizing the artist, portrayed as standing at the background of the composition holding a drum as her sole devotee. Quietly relishing the exotic view that he is presented with he completes his utter devotion with a translucent comic balloon pronouncing her as his very own 'Brigitta Queen'. Without a doubt, the present lot is a personal testament of the artist's true expression of his love and passion towards his muse, the artist's whimsical idealization of the Queen of his universe.
