About this Event

The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) presents a solo exhibition featuring nationally acclaimed photographer Leonard Suryajaya, and the debut of his newest body of work, Parting Gift: Fitting in America.

Known for his vibrant, elaborately staged portraits—featured in Aperture magazine and exhibited internationally—Suryajaya has quickly become a standout voice in contemporary photography. Living in the U.S. while his family remains in Indonesia, he uses photography to explore distance, belonging, and who is allowed to be seen as family in America today. The result is a series of bold, emotionally charged images that are playful, layered, and deeply human, inviting viewers into scenes where intimacy, identity, and national myths collide.

Opening Reception: Friday, February 27 (5 - 8 pm)

Artist Talk: Saturday, February 28 (1 pm)

All events are free and open to the public

Gallery hours: Tuesday – Friday: 11am – 5pm, Saturday: Noon – 4pm

Presented alongside An Impossibly Normal Life by Matthew Finley.
