Girl with Batik by Fivust

In this reimagination of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring by Fivust, the artist references the difference in local perception between batik outfits and formal European wear. By dressing the subject in luxurious batik and adding his own stylistic flourishes to the portrait, Fivust hopes to elevate perceptions of traditional fashion.

Artist Bio:

Fivust is an Indonesian graffiti artist and illustrator who, in his own words, entered the graffiti scene in 2012. He regularly incorporates an original character in his work named Alien, as a form of catharsis. While Alien personifies the difficulty Fivust had in adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings, it is also a character that can shape-shift, representing the artist and avatar's adaptability in new environments.
