Hyperrealist painter Yogie Ginanjar has done a series of figurative paintings early in his career, which included Portrait Of G-Girls With The Fall Of Icarus. Executed in 2009, this painting features three Caucasian women in bikini striking various poses perhaps for a photograph set amidst a vast swimming pool in the background. A fan of the Renaissance period, Yogie holds figurative art in high regards, claiming that it is the most sophisticated form of art. But after the demise of his father, Yogie sought refuge in the teachings of Islam and moved on from painting figurative to abstract expressionism. He has since found his true calling in abstract art.
Yogie Ginanjar was the winner of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize (public prize) in 2017, which was awarded to the artwork with the most public votes, for his painting of a punk rock biker entering a mosque. He has participated in several group shows namely Perjalanan Senyap, represented by Orbital Dago, Bandung, Indonesia (2017); Bazaar Art Jakarta at the Ritz Carlton Pacific Place, Jakarta, Indonesia (2015); South East Asia (SEA) + Triennale, Galeri Nasional, Indonesia (2013); and Neo-Chiaroscuro at Valentine Willie Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur (2012), to name a few.
