BLACK HAND GANG

Black Hand Gang Studio was established in 2020 as Indonesia's first pioneering printmaking facility. The company has grown dynamically, diversifying into a wider range of artistic mediums and introducing innovative new services for clients.

At the heart of the company lies an extensive printmaking studio, recognised as a pioneer of the Indonesian print movement. The studio facilitates access to resources and education for emerging and established artists, as well as the wider printmaking community. The company has held major exhibitions in Bali and Jakarta in collaboration with institutions such as the Macan Museum and the Ruci Gallery.

Their Ubud-based studio hosts ongoing series of workshops for the wider public to participate in learning about printmaking, craft activities and producing their own artworks to take home.

Their commercial services offer clients the benefits of 'experience through art'. This is achieved through consulting and curation, artwork production, artist collaborations, interior design, and sales and rentals from their collection.

Focusing on the power of art to create experiences, the team works across different media and project scales, collaborating with a variety of partners on different concepts. Their extensive experience also includes collaborating with local Balinese and Javanese artisans to produce paintings, textiles, wood carvings and other traditional crafts with a contemporary spin.
Their community-led offshoot, the Asia Pacific Print Club (APPC), has members from over ten countries and regularly organises group exhibitions across Asia.

The Foundation Sigar Mangsi actively supports social projects, such as art therapy programmes in collaboration with schools, social organisations, and local orphanages.
