Jono Sugiartono — Light Piercing the Depths, 2026
Oil, acrylic and mixed media on canvas · Presence 4 series · 70 × 90 × 0,5 cm · Unique original artwork
The artwork
In Light Piercing the Depths, a network of white currents threads its way around rounded forms suspended in slate blue, charcoal and mineral green. Some resemble stones seen through water. Others suggest cells or distant planets. Flecks of coral pink and ochre interrupt the darker passages, while fine gold lines trace a path through the lower part of the painting.
From a distance, the composition has the sweep of a geological landscape. Up close, its depth comes from the materials themselves. Crushed seashell and mixed powders create granular deposits, while tissue fibres gather in folds and ridges. The surface shifts from smooth passages of colour to rough, pitted areas that evoke weathered volcanic rock. Grazing light catches the raised edges and casts small shadows in the recesses, giving the painting a different appearance from one viewing angle to the next.
Presence 4
In this work from the Presence 4 series, light makes the underlying structure of the composition visible. It branches between the rounded forms, disappears into darker passages and re-emerges along their edges. The artist’s handwritten inscription on the reverse gives this movement a poetic reading.
“Light descends, penetrates all — seen and hidden become one.”
About the artist
Jono Sugiartono was born in 1968 in Ciamis, West Java, Indonesia. Trained at Bandung Fine Arts Teachers’ College, he developed a practice that brings painting together with mineral and organic materials. His work draws on Sundanese cultural heritage, including the cloud forms of Mega Mendung batik, whose flowing contours inform the branching lines found in his paintings.
Sugiartono founded Galeri Nusantara Jakarta, which he directed from 1995 to 2015. He has exhibited in Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar and created large-scale murals for historical sites and hotels in Indonesia. He was a Top 10 finalist in the 2023 UOB Painting of the Year competition.
