Adeputra Masri uses caricature to express his passion for football. By using strong shapes in monochrome colours, the artist develops a visual story concerning a football match. Dramatic, swirling lines heighten the sense of excitement in the air. 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 Malaysia (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.
