About the artwork
Dedy Sufriadi encapsulates the thrills and joy of childhood in this captivating work. A myriad of childish figures and scribbles adorn the canvas, with figures appearing on all sides and parts of the canvas, much like children playing a game of hide and seek. The painting is filled with warm colours, which imbue the work with vibrancy, and are reinforced by the numerous scribbles that convey the thrilling energy of youth. Displaying a dazzling blend of emotion and technique, Dedy’s works give the viewer much to admire visually, and to ponder mentally.
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.
