Description
Dedy Sufriadi is a fast arising Indonesian artist, who during the last ten years has established his art and name among South-East Asian collectors, in particular Malaysian collectors. The works of Dedy Sufriadi are comprised of texts, figurations and narratives, his paintings are strong compositions both in terms of visuals and meaning. Text is an important element as Dedy combines words and symbols which convey a unique hybrid style. In this set of portraits, careful placement of text complements the play of lines, texture and surface, resulting in a multi-dimensional effect. The presence of the human form is captured wonderfully in his flowing lines and brushstrokes. Dedy Sufriadi received his Master of Fine Art from Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI), Yogyakarta. In 1998, he was honoured as the Finalist in the Winsor & Newton Art Competition, followed by a Nokia Art Award in 1999; and in 2000, he was presented the prestigious Philip Morris-Indonesia Art Awards. He received the Young Art Award (First Prize), Young Art Taipei 2015, Taiwan. He was a Finalist of the UOB Art Award in 2012, 2015 and 2018.
