Deskripsi :
Seri yang terdiri dari 4 panel ini terinspirasi dari film “Band Of Brothers”.Seniman ingin mengekspresikan kisah tentang band dan personilnya, baik dari kesamaan visi, misi, selera, sampai intelektual.
Sebuah band yang langgeng biasanya terdiri dari orang-orang yang serupa. Semakin lama mereka berada dalam satu band, semakin kuat ikatan persaudaraan mereka.
Setiap kanvas menggambarkan setiap personel band sebagai individu. Jika semua kanvas digabungkan, maka akan terlihat keutuhannya sebagai satu band.
Walaupun setiap personel mempunyai ciri dan karakter yg berbeda, sebenarnya mereka mempunyai banyak kesamaan di dalam kesehariannya. Perbedaan karakter tersebut justru mengisi kekurangan personel lainnya dan memperkaya karakter band.
Dalam bahasa Inggris, kata ‘band’ juga berarti pita. Pita memilili ikatan mengikat, namun tidak membelenggu.
Bagi sang Seniman, seri “ The Band” ini adalah simbol sebuah pergerakan kolektif, organisasi, bahkan juga mafia.
Simbol dari sebuah ikatan persaudaraan yang sangat kuat, yang memiliki keterikatan tanpa membelenggu.
