Part-astronaut, part-characters from the Hindu epics, Indonesian artist Heri Dono’s ‘Flying Angels’ were, for the artist, symbols of inspiration and the future. Stand outs in the internationally-known artist’s first New York solo show at Tyler Rollins Fine Art in Chelsea, they introduce a fanciful body of work enlivened by references to Javanese folk theater. (Through Dec 20th).
Installation view of: Heri Dono, Flying Angels, fiberglass, fabric, bamboo, acrylic paint, electronic and mechanical devices, cable, automatic timer, 10 pieces, each 39 x 24 x 10 inches, 1996.
