George Tokaya, Indonesian-born Dutch fine artist loves to paint portraits to the backbone.

He was born in Surabaya (Indonesia), son of a sugar planter, came to the Netherlands with his parents and sister. His earliest love was drawing, and he began to work full time as an portrait painter in the eighties. Portraits and naked figures are preferred, often observed in arresting close-up. In his later work (from the late 1980s) his handling became much broader.

As a painter sometimes George Tokaya does 'escape' from the canvas to create installations. In the last four years he has made several installations inspired by the poetry of Harold Pinter. As well as the early poems of Pinter (from 1953) as the most recent became a source of inspiration.

Tokaya has presented his installations in a project called Scent of Disorder, an exhibition of contemporary art which will reflect aspects of the ambivalence, in today's world of warcrime, cruelty, horror, feelings of revenge and final punishment.
Scent of Disorder is a story of extremes. This group of installations is a contemporary, secular reaction to some of Harold Pinter's poems. And because Harold Pinter writes so visually, so full of images it is easy to picture the setting. Pinter's work is an inspiration for the artist in residence to design installations and graphics. Recitals by Harold Pinter of some of his poems will accompany some of the installations.
