Description from the seller
Biography
Sutjipto Adi was born in Jember, East Java, Indonesia in 1957. He studied art at
Indonesian Fine Art High School and pursued further study at the Indonesian Fine Art
Academy (ASRI) Yogyakarta from 1977 to 1981. He has been actively participating in
national and international group exhibitions in Jakarta, Bali, Hong Kong, and Japan
(Fukuoka Museum). Adi held 2 very well received and memorable solo shows so far.
One was held in Surabaya Art Council, East Java in 1985 and then in 2001 Artfolio
Singapore housed his second solo show. As a prominent figure in the development
of photo-realism in Indonesia, his works are in the collections of many important
private collectors, including OHD Museum in Magelang, Central Java.
Adi creates his works using photographs which he restructures in geometric shapes
as to construct a cosmic impression. Almost all of his works take the themes from
children, spiritual figures or religious symbols. While many of his paintings reflect
concern about contemporary situation that constantly threaten humanity, they also
voice optimism and hope for a better life. His works can be instantly recognized as hey depict figurative images done in a precise photographic-realist style, along with
accurate geometric constructions. His composition is avant-garde and the smooth
surfaces with extremely fine textures create futuristic and mysterious tone.
