Rinaldo Hartanto

This project is a collaboration between Jakarta-based fashion brand LEKAT and Amok Project by Bali-based visual artist Rinaldo Hartanto. This collection is a statement on collective passion, folk craftsmanship, and the amalgamation of diverse elements. LEKAT's signature one-of-a-kind patchwork, with hand-stitched detailing and leftover fabrics, is combined with Rinaldo's folkloric and volcanic imagery; a cross-disciplinary culmination of illustration and sustainable textile techniques. --- Rinaldo is an Indonesian artist living and working in Bali, Indonesia. With multidisciplinary backgrounds in graphic design, illustration, and printmaking, Rinaldo explores Jungian archetypes, esotericism, mythology, and folklore from Indonesia and all over the world. His ongoing body of work explores amok, an English loanword from Malay/Indonesia meaning to rampage or to run berserk. Drawing inspiration from the ambivalent force of volcanoes, amok can bring both destruction and creation. ---
