ABDI SETIAWAN Born 1971

Abdi Se�awan’s work is installa�on-based, and features half or life-size sculptures of everyday Indonesians in various social se�ngs. A very skillful wood carver, he makes mainly wooden sculptures along with fibre glass hand-painted unique replicas or edi�ons. His rendering of the figures are not only realis�c but also infused with humorous sa�re.

Abdi Se�awan’s sculptures return to the skill of wood carving while deploying the ar�st’s en�re imagina�on and percep�on to depict the Indonesian human figure. The work takes form as a spa�al arrangement, which presents the atmosphere of a city corner such as a wai�ng room, bus terminal or shopping mall; a representa�on of a fragment of the ac�vi�es of city dwellers – which wait, come and go – just wryly. The realis�c rendering of the figures pokes us with sa�re so that we smile away our embarrassment in recognising our own behaviour reflected. Today’s life and culture are those of the city – with all its complexity of problems: popula�on explosion, insufficient dwelling space, transporta�on, excessive consump�on, crime and poverty. The advancement of modernity and its related humanitarian problems are becoming obvious in urban life. Direct involvement in a�empt to familiarise himself with the atmospheres of certain corners of the city as well as the characters of the people there, almost always prevails in Se�awan’s process of making works.

23

INDRA DODI Indra Dodi makes an effort to simulate childlike drawings and joyous spontaneity on his usually large canvases with expressive, art brut, naïve style but with a refined manner. The layered colours, the no�on of composi�on and structures, together with the detailed figures which appear to have their own characters, reveal the careful thought behind his pain�ngs.

Born 1980

A graduate of the pres�gious Indonesian art college in Yogyakarta, ISI (Indonesian Ins�tute of the Arts), and a pupil of Yunizar, his works have been exhibited abroad, as far as The Netherlands and Germany. With already some solo and group exhibi�ons in Asia, in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, The Philippines and of course Indonesia, Indra Dodi is one of the most successful Indonesian contemporary ar�sts.

24

AYU ARISTA MURTI Born 1979

Ayu Arista Mur� is one of the few female ar�sts in Indonesia. Her works evolve around the theme of love and harmony among living organisms. “Nature, in all of her aspects, is beau�ful”.

In her crea�ve process to achieve an art work, the intellectual thoughts as well as natural processes are equally important. She absorbs things from different sources and let herself inspired by manga comics, but also wri�ngs and books.

Ayu Arista Mur� inten�onally chooses different environment and weather condi�ons in and around her studio to allow nature directly influence the result of her works. The elements like sun rays, wind or breeze, damp or water, dust or dirt should make an integral part of the end result. Working with many kinds of media at the same �me, Ayu will some�mes work under the glaring tropical sun to allow the paint to dry quickly. She will then bring the pain�ng to a more shadowed area to allow strongly diluted paint to spread and dry its transparent layer on the canvas. And these will later on be coloured and modified with so� pastel, charcoal, dust or dirt. And a piece of cloth, metal or wire will later be applied.

25

EDDIE HARA EddiE haRa is one of the few among the Indonesian contemporary ar�sts, who has succeeded in finding a new visualisa�on vocabulary.

His colourful, layered works are a clash between children's innocence and raw street life, charaterised by the urban murals quality. A mixture of fresh wildness of children's mischievous fantasies and the more generic raw art in his works, eventually emerging to a new pain�ng genre.

Born 1957

Typical of his works are the recurrent figures of jellyfishes, squids, rabbits, the hat-wearing shoes/boots, and human skulls that are sca�ered flying and tumbling all over his canvas. Their contour lines and colours connect and cross the confined borders. The pain�ng seems thus to be just a �ny frac�on, a mere frame in this endless con�nuity. Eddie Hara's works keep dealing with various themes and sub-culture mindset: from environment deteriora�on through the absurdity of contemporary people's life.

26

ARWIN HIDAYAT Born 1983

Arwin Hidayat combines primi�ve and contemporary mo�fs for his works on paper and in his pain�ngs, and also by folk art inspired refined unique ba�k pieces. Although many of his works are inspired by his personal experiences and thoughts, his works of art can be seen as a subtle manner to pose ques�ons about socio-economic and moral situa�on in Indonesia.

Arwin Hidayat loves the medium ba�k. It is tradi�onally a method to decorate cloth with mo�fs, pa�ern or designs using colour dyes and wax. It requires quite an elaborate manner of pain�ng (wri�ng) by hand, unlike the modern printed tex�le produc�on for the mass. Although the method can be found in many places in (South-East) Asia, in Java especially this method of cloth decora�ng has found its high refinement, where every mo�ve has its own meanings, and whom are allowed to use depending on the gender and even ranks of social and heritage. The traces of these ba�k pain�ngs can be found in his works on paper.

Arwin Hidayat's artworks have been selected several �mes for ArtJog, the annual & pres�gious contemporary art exhibi�on in Yogyakarta.

27

AGUS PRASETYO Agus Prasetyo's artworks are an interes�ng mix of different media. Pain�ngs of wood block prints, mixed media (tex�le, paper) on canvas.

Although Agus Prasetyo creates pain�ngs nowadays, he used to make woodblock prints. Wood-block prin�ng is an ancient method to produce repe��ve mo�fs or text on paper or tex�les. This method were used to make hand-printed ba�k, un�l the stamps were replaced by brass and other metals to make them more durable and allowing more details.

Born 1976

In his new works Agus Prasetyo recycles in a way his old works, or more specifically fragments of his older woodblock print works, with pieces of different kind of tex�les, threads and paper, finished by lines drawn by him with drawing or marker pen.

The pain�ngs are compound of interes�ng, abstract and colourful blobs, some�mes in the shapes of living organisms or even daily objects.

28

IDA BAGUS PUTU PURWA Born 1977

Ida Bagus Putu Purwa's (or shortly Purwa) concept of art works is his con�nuous search of freedom. His pain�ngs speak about human bodies in a true search and longing for freedom, realizing that human existence or ones' due rights was given to them since birth. Although the subjects in the pain�ngs some�me take different shape or posture, they are in fact an expression of himself. For this reason they are not really different subjects, but merely bodies; embodiments of the same ul�mate subject, the very ar�st himself. His works are expression of this quest to freedom and a reflec�on of movements and suffering of this urge to find his dream.

Wearing mask or painted face to hide his agony, these bodies move �ll the edge of the canvas (or paper) as if they are looking to break out of the frame, looking for freedom outside its confined edges. Jumping high or almost disappear to the side while running, trying to break out. Many �mes they dance with vigorous movements, inspired by the tradi�onal Balinese dance, they pose anger, frustra�on but also happiness and acceptance. Graceful composi�on showing vulnerable strength and light-footed postures bear the weigh of his mental burden.
