Oky Rey Montha (Kyre) was born on January 3, 1986, in Yogyakarta and graduated from Visual Communication Design at ISI Yogyakarta.
Kyre’s work explores dark and macabre imagination inspired by social status, environment, and personal relationship issues. Influenced by horror, fairy tales, pop surrealism, and music, his artworks are rich in social symbols, using either vibrant or minimalist colors depending on his mood. Kyre believes that art is not about "how," but "why" it is created, to keep it alive and relevant.
In 2018, he participated in group exhibitions such as "Auckland Art Fair" and "Form of Diversity" at Redbase Foundation Yogyakarta.
Kyre has also taken part in various art exhibitions, including “Art Central Hong Kong” with REDBASE Art, Hong Kong-China (2016), Canna Gallery at Ritz Carlton Hotel Pacific Place Jakarta, Equator Art Project in Singapore and many more.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
