Manual Painting on T-Shirt by @marxause artwork.
Idrus Bin Harun is well known as @marxause on social media. He has a unique way in presenting his art works to public, he always convey his ideas by using sarcastic words to against local stereotypes. For example, "Acuh itu Aceh" (Denial is Aceh) it was a bad habit which is growing up in Acehnesse people.
Nowadays, people are not aware about historical tragedy again. Such as Acehnesse conflict against Colonial periods (1873-1945), then GAM (Free Aceh Movement) against Indonesian Government (1976-2005).
After several years, people are kind of unconsciously forgetting the tragedies that happened in that periods.
So, Idrus is in the process of reminding people about history.
"Pidie Kriet" is a stereotype which was labeled to one of Acehnesse tribes.
Idrus has his own way to against that stereotype, he slipped the word "Kriet" means (Stingy) to "Create" word. Which is many people in Pidie are basically doing creative work for their living. Mostly, they are businessesmen, artists and politicians.
On the other hands, Idrus takes that as an opportunity to increase his incomes. He creates painting T-shirt by using Cukil Kayu, Woods Pattern technique, and he sells them on social media and online market place such as Instagram and Shopee. The price of the art work is 150 IDR or 13 USD / T-shirt.
