About the artwork

With bold strokes and weighted dark over a lighter background, Dedy explores the recesses of his mind to put forth an image that is reflective of our most primitive thought processes. Unrefined and crude, the strokes stray away from delicacy or grace and showcase a style that brings out the heavy emotions that the artist has put into his artwork. The strokes form obscure images that resemble primitive symbols as well, adding interpretive depth to this abstract exploration of expression.

About the artist

Born in Indonesia in 1976, Dedy began his artistic journey in Jogjakarta in 1995 and began to exhibit his work at the tender age of twenty. The recognition was inevitable as his radical and forceful works gained immediate interest, eventually earning him many awards and critical acclaim for his unique expressive style and abstract execution. Strong compositions of entangled words and symbols, Dedy Sufriadi’s paintings are powerful both in terms of visuals and meaning. Through his abstract paintings, the artist explores the borders between discipline, words and imagery. Refusing to be bound by a particular discipline, a unique hybrid artistic language is used by the artist to evolve his subject matter more freely. Creating images that are worth a thousand words and employing words that are worth a thousand images, his pieces are striking in their directness and honesty - leaving a memorable impact on all who view them.
