Budi Ubrux Haryono has emerged as a fast ascending artist in Indonesia mocking the powers-that-be as "ulcers of corruption" and for using distortions. Anonymous people wrapped in newsprint of various languages - English, Indonesian, Chinese - are painted as protagonists, preferring not to use newsprint collage perhaps as added veracity. So, newspapers, owned by special interest groups, carry slanted news camouflaged as truth. The mummified figures act indirectly as haunting accusers against the orchestrated subterfuges in the hamstrung media. Budi Ubrux, a former billboard artist in Switzerland for two years, leapfrogged into the Indonesian art arena when he won the Philip Morris Asean Art Award in 2000, with his work, Immacologi. Since, he has staged solo exhibitions at Galeri Semarang (Ilusi Koran, 2002), Parco Sculpture Park, Italy (2008 and 2010) and iPreciation in Singapore (2008), Gedung PWI in Yogyakarta (2012) and Ratu Adil (January 2024). He was also featured in Indonesia's 72nd anniversary exhibition at the National Gallery of Indonesia in 2017.
