Ykha Amelz

Ykha is an Indonesian artist specializing in 2D illustration. Although she majored in and graduated from architecture, she decided to pursue her passion for drawing. Since 2008, she has been working as a freelance illustrator, gaining experience in various fields such as fashion, music, advertising, branding, and even traditional art through her paintings. However, it wasn't until she started drawing her beloved pet Babbot that her true calling in art emerged. This reignited her love for cartoons and comics, leading to a significant change in her illustration style. Initially used as a way to deal with work frustrations, her playful characters now bring joy to everyone. This has resulted in exhibitions, book deals, and collaborations with major global brands such as VANS, COACH, Netflix, Spotify, and Samsung.

In 2021, Ykha made her NFT debut and her artwork has since evolved. She blends her inner-child nostalgia and chaotic mind into a vibrant universe inhabited by a family of cartoon characters. She currently hopes to spread happiness to more people by doing frame-by-frame animation, stating, "I always wanted my art to be able to make people smile and feel like a happy kid."

LUME Studios brings 'HOMAGE' to NYC to showcase Accelerate Art & Art Bees Gallery's tribute exhibition to Constantin Brancusi. Featuring 47 digital artworks made in conversation with Brancusi's legacy, curated by Claire Silver & NONE32X32.

The act of homage—of creation, in conversation with the work of another artist—reminds us that art is a living thing. Even Pleistocene cave art and the megaliths of Stonehenge still inspire; it is only natural that some of the world’s most innovative digital artists have joined together to celebrate the work of Constantin Brancusi with their own original creations.


Organised by Art Bees in partnership with Accelerate Art and hosted by the Constantin Brancusi Center of the Craiova Museum, HOMAGE will feature works from forty-eight digital artists, taking inspiration from Brancusi’s work and life.


The curators for this exhibition were NONE32X32 and Claire Silver with NONE32X32 curating the 18 featured artists and Claire Silver, the 30 artists who responded to an Accelerate Art open call thread on Twitter.
