Taufik Ermas
Bonjour Paris!
Greetings from Artemis Art!
It is indeed an honour and pleasure to be one of the participating galleries in Asia Now Paris Asian Art Fair this year. Our debut participation in this year’s edition features a selection of recent works by three artists from Southeast Asia: Dedy Sufriadi, Syahbandi Samat, and Taufik Ermas.
The diversity of styles represented by this collection of works is a microcosmic reflection of Southeast Asia’s sheer diversity in various aspects – be it culture, food, language or socio-politics – across the ten nations that make up the region.
From the expressive contemporary abstract works by Dedy Sufriadi, to the surrealist ballpoint pen renderings of Syahbandi Samat, to the technically unique figurative artworks of Taufik Ermas, there is certainly a lot to discover amidst the myriad of art practices and visual styles found across the region.
It is our hope that what we’ve selected to exhibit at this fair becomes a good entry point to begin discovering the rich and expansive tapestry of practices and styles, all of which collectively contribute towards ‘defining’ the multifarious visual art forms conglomerated under the nebulous banner of “Southeast Asian Art”.
This eCatalog presents the complete selection of works for Asia Now 2022, and any enquiries may be directed to info@artemisartgallery.com, or to any of the contact methods listed on the back page of this catalog.

Artist Profiles
Dedy Sufriadi
(b. 1976 in Indonesia)
Contemporary abstract artist Dedy Sufriadi has a wide repertoire of work and styles, encompassing the use of many different elements. The many disparate visual styles that can be found across his vast body of work can be tied together by one common trait – his mastery of color and composition. Dedy is perhaps best known for his work related to text, an element of modern life that humans are subject to at virtually every waking moment, whether realized or not.
2022 has been a very important year for Dedy. Earlier this year, he was featured as part of Artemis Art’s participation in Art Solo 2022, marking Dedy’s major art fair debut in Taiwan. In addition, Dedy made his exhibition debut in Europe with his participation in Personal Structures: Reflection, organised by the European Cultural Centre Italy (ECC Italy), a Venice Biennale satellite event in parallel with the main Biennale, from 23 April to 27 November 2022.
Syahbandi Samat
(b. 1992 in Malaysia)
His use of the ordinary ballpoint pen has made self-taught Malaysian artist Syahbandi Samat one of the more unique Malaysian artists currently practicing, and whose works are almost always instantly recognizable.
Recently becoming a father, Syahbandi’s works currently delve deeper into his own psyche, projecting his inner thoughts, experiences, and aspirations. Successfully breaking away from the need to “please” with his artistic creations, Syahbandi addresses issues that are important to him, such as corruption, the environment, and of course, introspective works dealing with his own life experiences.
Taufik Ermas
(b. 1984 in Indonesia)
The dialectics of space and delving into human psychological scarring and memories are among the ideas central to the current body of work by Indonesian artist Taufik Ermas. He survived a near-death tragedy during the major 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake that caused his home to collapse, burying him alive for a short period of time before being rescued. This experience continues to inform his artistic practice.
Canvas augmentation is a key feature in his artworks, either through his layer/contour technique, physical ridges (or its inverse, niches) created on the canvas surface without tearing through or cutting the canvas, or through physical canvas frame modifications to create negative space within his visual narratives.
