Erik Pauhrizi's works may look ordinary with photographic-like/mediated images about ordinary things, like here which looks like a badly taken picture. However, one look at his credentials and versatility, you will be left amazed. He uses the Conceptual approach to a vast range of post-colonial issues including immigration and East-West relationships, using text, drawing, painting, photography, video/film, and installation. He got his Diploma in Multimedia Art at the Braunschweig University of Art from 2009-2012, finished his masterclass studies under Professor Michael Brynntrup there in 2016 and also won the master school prize. In 2015, he received his BFA cum laude at the Bandung Institute of Technology. Earlier he was also involved with his troupe, Kabumi (Keluarga Bumi Siliwangi), specializing in traditional arts and crafts of Indonesia and which had performed music and dacne at the Indoneisan Presidential Palace six times. He also initiated the Buton Kultur experimental space in Bandung.
