'Chusin Setiadikara is often called by Indonesian art observers as a realist painter. This designation is of course related to the attitude of his works that always engage in all matters factual and real, leaning to the portrayal of substantive and objective existence...Analyzed thoroughly, Chusin's works tend more to dwell on actual and external situations, and this tendency can be verified as his positive attitude toward reality. The dimension of reality that Chusin has taken up early on was indeed due to his interests on some kinds of moral actions to realize his unique internal-ego, influenced by his specific personal quality in relation with the reality of his cultural environment...Therefore, Chusin always tries to represent critically the reality based on physical data and objects, and to enliven his perseptions about these objects.' - Mamannoor, Curator of Galeri Nasional Indonesia. There is a foreword by both Jim Supangkat, Curator of CP Artspace and Mamannoor, Curator of Galeri Nasional Indonesia. Also included is information on the artists selected exhibitions.
