About the artwork
Sold Vic eyond the intelligence of execution and creativity, lays the intuition and instinct that drives an artist and fills his work with emotion. Dedy Sufriadi's works are filled with strong ideals bridled by a control of imageries and strokes that seem random at first glance. In 'Had a Party', the intense colours invite viewers into a crowded space even as they remain detached from the entire scene. Dedy depicts a common scene in today's society using his own interpretation.
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.
