About the artwork

The title, “Kami Terhebat”, translates to “we are the best” as Sufriadi weaves a political narrative in this mixed media mastery. Sufriadi combines pop culture text and expressionistic painting to create depth. Particularly this piece represents the diversifying ethics in Indonesia in the 20th century when certain ethnics were favoured among the others. However, Sufriadi wishes to express his concerns as a native Indonesian in finding unity despite racial differences.



About the artist

Born in Indonesia in 1976, Dedy began his artistic journey in Jogjakarta in 1995 and began to exhibit his work at the tender age of twenty. The recognition was inevitable as his radical and forceful works gained immediate interest, eventually earning him many awards and critical acclaim for his unique expressive style and abstract execution. Strong compositions of entangled words and symbols, Dedy Sufriadi’s paintings are powerful both in terms of visuals and meaning. Through his abstract paintings, the artist explores the borders between discipline, words and imagery. Refusing to be bound by a particular discipline, a unique hybrid artistic language is used by the artist to evolve his subject matter more freely. Creating images that are worth a thousand words and employing words that are worth a thousand images, his pieces are striking in their directness and honesty - leaving a memorable impact on all who view them.
