Adeputra Masri uses caricatures of power and greed to rail against human frailty, and this work is specifically pointed at corruption in high places resulting in digs at the high-cost production of the movie The Wolf Of Wall Street and the splurge of ill-gotten gains to buy instant prestige through high-value art. Self-taught Adeputra started drawing for humour magazines Gelihati (under the pseudonym Adi Putere) and Ujang (1990-1992) before doing social commentaries and editorial cartoons for Utusan Malaysa (until 1995). He had written two books, Misnan Dan Sarip and Dari Poket Seorang Kutu Lepak, in 1997. A member of the Titikmerah collective, he held a two-man show with Latif Maulan in May 2017 and was featured in a group exhibition at Artemis Art in August 2017. A Johor-born of Javanese descent, he combined elements of the wayang purwa and the Javanese version of the wayang kulit.
