POPO is a street artist of Jakarta. The beginning of its existence starting from the walls of the silent streets. "Speak Silence", said POPO trying to explain his ideas that had been talking through his work as a diary of personal things that can not be expressed verbally.

POPO use the walls on the side streets of Jakarta as "street art diary of Visual Communication ". Diary records are personal stories or events experienced everyday. Visual communication, is a process of will or purpose to another party by using a medium that is only readable by sight. Street art refers to public spaces that provide places to channel expression with its own language to speak to the wider public again.

Apart from being an artist, POPO also taught as a teacher of Visual Communication at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences (IISIP) Jakarta. POPO removed, and then often called, as a Special Lecturer because he was considered a success using and presenting the media street art to communicate with the wider public.

This time, ruangrupa POPO specifically invited to present their project work in a solo exhibition at Gallery ruru at 6 to 20 March 2009.

For this solo exhibition, POPO will work explores a variety of digital print media, polaroid, paintings, murals, display a screen saver on your computer desktop, neon box, character toys, installation, painting on glass & medium bowl of chicken noodle. In addition, Sam is also responding to the things that keep the memory close to his experience as a landscape paintings and paintings of horses are often living room display. POPO character also tries to grasp the strategy "numpang nampang" by posing with artists infotainment and here we can see an example of his work, the character poses Polaroid POPO shook hands with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

In the most recent issue of The Sunday Times, artist Banksy did not only create the cover art, but the magazine also published a 6 page interview with him.

“Readers of the The Sunday Times in the UK were greeted with a six-page spread on Banksy including a question and answer session with the stealthy street artist. The interview ended up being quite insightful despite the fact that he talks in his usual tongue-in-cheek manner about museums, CCTV, his reasons for anonymity, his hypocrisy, his family, his art background, his collection, and sure to disappoint fans everywhere, he says – “I won’t be doing any more big gallery shows for a while, it’s all a bit dodgy. I’ve come into contact with a lot more villains since I moved from vandalism into selling paintings. The art world is full of shady people peddling bright colours.” It’s perhaps this distrust of the art world that led to the way his film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” turned out and also to the creation Pest Control, an entity that still refuses to authenticate his artwork that is taken off the streets by speculators.”
