BIOGRAPHY

Since 2020 Aryo Toh Djojo’s paintings have explored the idea of mystery and spirituality through the subject of UFOlogy. He uses the airbrush in a traditional, free-hand technique, without the use of stencils or masking tape. His cinematic images and subjects portray the mise-en-scènes of daily life with UFOs lurking in the distance and tries to bring the viewer into a state of meditation- in hopes to find answers within and beyond our world. 

His work was featured in solo exhibitions, including Transmission, Wilding Cran Gallery, Los Angeles (2021); 5318008918, Public Land, Sacramento, CA (2021) and Vodka Sodas & Gasoline, Weekend Gallery, Los Angeles (2018).

American Psycho

Organised by Volery Gallery, American Psycho (2021) is a group exhibition curated by Rom Levy and Massine Benoukaci. It draws its inspiration from the best seller movie of the same title, based on Bret Easton Ellis's 1991 novel. The film features Christian Bale playing Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banker. Bateman keeps his psychopathic ego hidden until he loses control and his illogical fantasies escalate, causing him to submit to an uncontrollable bloodlust.
