He has also recently exhibited at Honold Fine Art in Bali, Studio Kalahan in Yogyakarta, Lucie Fontaine space in Milan; Lucie Fontaine’s satellite in Tokyo; Galeri Semarang in Semarang; OFCA International in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; NOME gallery in Berlin, Germany, ArtStage in Singapore and V-Room in Bali.
