According to Dumas, there has been some enquiries from artists from Iran, France and India. Interest in the style has grown around the world and new fans are learning the art through e-mails and websites. WPAP has a big following in Romania and Germany. The art and complexity is in creating a cubism feel with distortion but at the same time keeping the subject recognisable. In his opinion, these are the key features of any face, if one gets them wrong, the character and familiarity of the subject will be lost. An ardent follower of this style, Dumas Mahar, told us that the hardest parts to get right are the eyes, nose and mouth.

To create the WPAP style, you will need Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, but it is also achievable with CorelDraw, Adobe Flash or Microsoft Word. He created the WPAP art style in 1991, back then it was known as Foto Marak Berkotak (Boxed Bloom Photo). WPAP was founded by one of Indonesia’s foremost illustrator, Wedha Abdul Rashid, who is affectionately known as ‘The Father of Indonesian Illustration.’ Born in March 1951, Wedha is famed for the creation of 2 iconic characters – Lupus, a fictional character based on a novel written by Hilman Hariwijaya and Ninol, a cartoon character he created for HAI Magazine. The tracing rules are not rigid and with the artist’s personal intepretation, this form produces a fresh new feel with every attempt. Hence it is typical to see the colours in WPAP art collide shockingly. WPAP uses only straight lines and solid colours without any gradation. WPAP, short for Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait is an art style using vector art principles which involves tracing on a photograph of a portrait. However, when cleverly applied to a face for the sake of art, they transform the subject into a visually stunning personality. Vivid colours, sharp angles, straight edges - no make-up artist in her right mind will give you those on a date night.

This series will appear periodically in alternate weeks to the regular Talking Indonesia episodes. Today’s episode is the latest in the “Policy in Focus” series of Talking Indonesia episodes, supported by the Knowledge Sector Initiative (KSI), a partnership between the Australian and Indonesian governments that aims to improve the use of evidence in development policymaking. In this week’s Talking Indonesia podcast, Dr Dave McRae chats with Professor Arief Anshory Yusuf, founding director of the SDGs Centre at Padjajaran University, about the economic impacts of Covid-19, Indonesia's likely trajectory for recovery, and the prospects for a transition as part of this recovery to a so-called knowledge economy - an economy based on the ability to produce and make use of knowledge. The government enacted a new Science and Technology Law in 2019, and has also formed a new National Research and Innovation Agency, known as BRIN. Covid-19 struck amid a push by the Indonesian government to increase the role of science and technology in driving economic development.
