The piece of artwork is on an inkjet on paper, and the size of the artwork is 1/3, 76.2 x 114.3 centimeters. The author of the artwork is called Diyan Achjadi, and the picture was collected by Kamloops Art Gallery, and the Canada Council for the Arts purchased this artwork. Diyan Achjadi was born in Indonesia, and graduated from Concordia University, Montreal, PQ. She got a master’s degree from fine arts program. The majority theme she used from her arts are related to militarism, environmental disaster, and use media as a social function for critiquing something. Her art works are expressing the local history and political changes during that period. Then we will go back to this artwork, the artwork is one of the series of the Further Adventures of Girl series. The main idea of the series is talking about the negative impacts of the war to the children during that time. And use the candy colored as a background for having a sharply contrast with the militarism. Her artwork can encourage more people to know these period’s history and do not make the war happened once again. It is critical for people to treasure the present life and protect the world.

These arts are including the photographs, archives, print and mural. The author is called Mark Salvatus, and he was born in Lucban, Philippines. His artwork is introducing the history of Philippines, and the audience can see the information from those photos. When people visit this section, you will find a triangular image on the wall, and the idea came from a trade which is hold in Lucban in the 1950s and 1960s. The main idea of the trade is to show the development of the industrial revolution and emphasize the America’s colonial product. The triangular pattern means a direction of the development, and it predict the story is not end yet. The story will be keep continuing in the future and make more changes during the process.
After I introduced those artworks, and then I will show you a booklet from the art gallery. The booklet has a lot of information about the artwork and the artists. You can ask for stuff and get one or download the file from the official website. Thank you for reading, and I hope it useful for you!
