Tatang Elmy Wibowo (Leksa Ganesha)
Tatang, a Yogyakarta native, was born in into a family of batik workers, inspired from an early age to join Classical and Contemporary batik into a single form using natural dyes.
He is devoted to environmental consciousness, working in cooperation with the Indonesian Friends of the Earth network.
Mr. Arya Pranyata Koeswadji (Aprat) took Tatang under his wing in 2008 for 3 years in his studio in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. During that time, he was taught abstract design, how to develop color naturally, as well as how to create a social ecology campaign.
