Wedha Abdul Rashid or
wedha was born in Cirebon, March 10, 1951 — known as a illustrator,
initiate this color mosaic style since the 1990's. To get rid of a sense
of boredom in doing the realism illustrations which often he do, he
began to alter the existing gradation in skin tone and drapery into
color plots using pencil, watercolor and poster paint. When the art
technology era arrived, Wedha cultivate the process of "gradation
destruction" it with a computer. For Wedha "the essence of color" not on
the gleam of image as it is written in physics theory (red, yellow,
blue), but on its nature: color front and rear, as well as bright color
and dark colors. Geometric particles also do not have to displayed
stiff, But have flexibility in responding the image area. For him, the
geometric particle do not contain elements of curves, because a curve is
assumed to occur from a series of short straight lines. Wedha then
arrange, selecting, managing and managing these color areas one by one.
The process of preparation of colors and complex field running under the
knowledge and total comprehension on character and biography of a
figure depicted. Here he acted like a mozaikus arrange ceramic plates
and glass. Various colors that appear in this geometric fragment of at
later stages was calculated in detail to composed like a mosaic then
forming figure nor objects. In harmony with the colors is selected, the
figure which displayed as objects are popular figures in society, such
as Jimi Hendrix, Marilyn Monroe, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley, Bung
Karno. John Lennon, Jakob Oetama, Iwan Fals, Barack Obama, Slank
personnel until Agnes Monica.

followed by many people. And they come from various professions. From
professional graphic designers, students, photographers, businessmen
till housewives. The success of this are reflection of the efforts of
contemporary artists who are good at utilizing modern information
technology to ascend to the top of discourse. Great pop artworks from
wedha, plus the presentation of discourse and thought, included a bonus
making techniques, he introduced them via online media such as facebook
and other. From here then born a collection of fan works Wedha, who
originally formed in the deviantART community. Interestingly, in this
community Wedha bluntly teaches the technique of making his work, so
that could be followed by anyone who wants to join the ranks Wedha's Pop
Art Portrait (WPAP).
Wedha believe, that the people of Indonesia
will be involved more far in the creation of pop art because it offers
the impression that everyone can participate
"I believe, that pop
visual art will be involved Indonesian society more in and the people
of Indonesia will be involved more far in the creation of pop art
because it offers the impression that everyone can participate. So far I
see that the perpetrators of art pop art is always the people of Europe
and America. Though the Indonesian people also have a great chance to
come forward. ", Said Wedha. (copyright : ICAL S & BOWOART)
