About the artwork

R1 VIC TILL 21.03 Adi Gunawan has a knack for skilfully conveying the expressions, emotions and personalities of his bronze characters. In ‘The Song of Freedom,’ his character holds a large guitar that is decorated with a tree branch symbolic of growth. With an arm extended towards the audience, the singer has a passionate and determined look on his face - rallying the viewer to join him in his quest for liberation.



About the artist

Adi was born in Yogyakarta in 1974, Indonesia and received his education at Institut Seni Indonesia, Yogyakarta. In his symbolic sculptures, Adi invokes euphoria and the significance of animals in his work due to his cultural background of growing up in an agrarian society. He uses his cultural positioning as a tool to visualize motions, gestures, characters and expressions of various subjects that he sculpts. He then conveys constructed meaning which, in and through his forms, figures and compositions, puts forth the issue of a mystical relationship between animals and humans. Adi’s highest accolade thus far was representing Indonesia at the Beijing Olympics 2008 Fine Arts Exhibition, where he was bestowed the further honor of an Olympic Torch Award. His sculpture toured Hong Kong, the United States, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland and many other countries.
