Romeo Jericó

By LatAm ARTE

One of the most notable caricatures from Indonesia is “Romeo Jericho”, with its fun, cartoonish portrait style, with extreme distortion but still aesthetically pleasing. The family caricatures called “Romeo Jericho” are very active in producing pencils in the midst of busy work. “Since I was little I liked the world of drawing, my friends' notebooks at school are full of my drawings and the teacher also found me drawing and not listening to the lessons. Although my desire to go to university in arts is not such because my parents do not approve and I end up working in a field that has absolutely nothing to do with the world of images but that does not quench my crazy love for the activities of drawing. In 2005, when street art began to move in Indonesia, I actively donated my works on the streets of my friends' home in the capital.”
