Indonesian artist Diela Maharanie designs poster for Ypsigrock festival
The 2017 edition of Ypsigrock, a boutique festival held in the medieval town of Castelbuono near Palermo, Sicily, will feature a poster by Indonesian illustrator Diela Maharanie. The festival, known for its indie and alternative-rock performances and psychedelic spirit under the slogan 'Ypsi and Love,' has a tradition of commissioning contemporary artists for its visual identity. Maharanie gained international attention at the 2010 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, and has since collaborated with brands like Levi's and exhibited in Paris, London, Hong Kong, and Osaka. Her poster depicts a colorful hallucinatory microcosm with fantastic creatures and a female guiding spirit overlooking Castelbuono. The festival's organizer, the cultural association Glenn Gould, also plans further collaborations with the Museo Civico di Castelbuono.
