Both artists were, respectively - were interested in painting, photography, and new media technologies, although in a different way. Andy Dewantoro is a painter with a photo image of cinematic trend. Almost always used photography as a way to capture and record its subjects, processed through the computer and then transferring onto the canvas.

While Davy Linggar, known as a photographer who sometimes painting and making art objects. Both use the medium of photography in capturing the reality behind the lens as the departure of the work.

As a follow up of visual artistic expression as well as critical of the medium, both photography and painting.

Through the latest paintings, Andy buildings overlooking a seemingly abandoned by humans, only accompanied by shrubs and trees which almost cover its existence.
