Profile

Born in 1978. Graduated from Parahyangan University for Bachelor in Architecture in 2002 and continuing in Design Academy Eindhoven, Holland from 2006-2008 for IM conceptual design.
Recent 5 main activities are :
1. "Little Water", Dojima River Biennale,Osaka,Japan (2013)
2. "Of Human Scale and Beyond", Hong Kong Arts Centre, Hong Kong (2012)

5. " (Dis)appear", Primae Noctis,Lugano,Switzerland (2015)

In recent years I had been working on various concepts from the concepts of 'boundaries', 'identity' and 'nation' through my works. In 2010 I presented "rotatable painting", where I place interaction as another way to communicate and challenge the audience about art. This was followed by The Wall : Asian Un(real) Estate project (2011), Identifying Indonesia (2012) and NGACO (2014), which were my reflections about Indonesia today. Recently I tried to trace back my early passion in drawing and mathematics, emotion and calculation, archive and imagination, in more recent contexts. This can be seen in my Painting Sense (2014) and Abstract series (2015).
