Pepe Arcos Brings The Corals of Asahan to Bali
The Holiday Canggu Art Gallery at Canggu, Bali, Indonesia is hosting a new exhibition by Pepe Arcos opening on 28 September that is set to benefit South Lombok's Coral Conservation project.
A new exhibition by Pepe Arcos opens 28 September at the Holiday Canggu Art Gallery, Canggu, Bali, Indonesia. The exhibition features seven limited edition large sized prints and will be on display until 26 October.
In the exhibition Corals of Asahan, Pepe Arcos draws a straight line between art and conservation. He creates a new category of “minimal delicacy”, challenges the sensitivity of the senses, and leaves exciting thoughts in the viewer’s mind about the true beauty of nature, and how important it is to take action to protect it.
The artist has arranged his underwater images in the cool, cosy Art Gallery at Holiday Canggu, a new venue that just opened in the island of Bali, Indonesia.
This is a very special art collection that will display corals as they have never been shown before. An innovative style of underwater photography that will surprise the viewers.
The images were taken underwater near the island of Gili Asahan, South Lombok, while freediving. The coral’s textures and intriguing colours tell a singular story of the fragility in the area, especially after the fatal earthquakes that Lombok suffered recently.
Pepe Arcos is an award-winning, multitalented freediver and photographer, with a filmmaker’s approach to storytelling and a fashion photographer’s eye for form and shape. This multitalented shooter explores this underwater domain, holding breath for minutes at a time, to capture unique images of ethereal calm. He is a talented individual who dodges even greater odds to document aspects of the underwater world in new creative ways never seen before.
The Corals of Asahan art exhibition will surprise gallery visitors with totally new ways of looking into the beauty of our oceans. Thirty percent of all sales proceeds will be donated to South Lombok’s Coral Conservation project.
