So far I've seen the pop art being assigned only to artists from Europe and America. " I believe that visual pop art is more and more part of the Indonesian society and the Indonesian people can engage further with the creation of pop art as it is a way to make Art in a sense of inclusion, in which everyone can participate. Thanks to Wedha, many artists in Indonesia have followed in his artistic footsteps: And Wedha Abdul Rashid proved that other parts of the world can also dive into similar styles. In the U.S., Andy Warhol might be the most famous pop artist.

His work includes famous faces such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Sting, Bono, as well as famous political figures such as JFK, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Fidel Castro, Ahmadinejad, and others. He then proceeded to draw these faces according to true dimensions, using a mosaic of colors. In the early 90's, Wedha started to illustrate faces formed by single lines and strong colors, inspired by the cubist style. Wedha Abdul Rashidhas worked as an illustrator for the press industry since the 1970s, developing portraits of important figures from all backgrounds: politicians, musicians, artists, and fictional characters. Initially developed by one of the premier illustrators of Indonesia, Wedha Abdul Rashid, known as "The Father of Enlightenment in Indonesia", WPAP Art is made using straight lines and sharp, vibrant, contrasting fills.
