About the artwork

The Ladder of Success I is part of a series centred around the imagery of the ladder. Its use is symbolic, as the ascent up each rung leads gradually to the goal and success. The figure at the base of the ladder appears to be content and happy to face challenges. In this sculpture, Adi Gunawan captures the essence of hard work while remaining light and positive, showing the interconnectivity of happiness and success.



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.
