Ariadhitya Pramuhendra(b. 1984) is quickly making a name for himself as a hot young star in Indonesia. He graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology, majoring in Printmaking in 2007. He has participated in a number of group exhibitions presenting emerging Indonesian artists over the past couple of years and has caught audience attention with his dramatic self-portraits in charcoal on canvas.
Spacing Identities, 9-31 May 2009, NUS MUSEUM – Singapore
Co-organizers: NUS Museum, Bandung Institute of Technology and Gajah Gallery
Emerging from various explorations linked to conceptions of the philosophical “Self”, J. Ariadhitya Pramuhendra in his most recent series dissects the seemingly monumental appeal of Spacing Identities. Informed mostly by the artists’ biographical interests, the charcoal works present momentary petitions for recognition by constantly emphasizing on re-assessing the Self in relation to what constitutes identity, the moral and the social in contemporary Indonesia. The Self simultaneously becomes a subject and object of observation and study for the artist, a liminal philosophical category, developed through investigations into artifactual constituents of memory and placed conjunctive to idealizations of artistic labour and its accompanying predicaments.
” Refresh is a presentation of works by a generation of young Indonesian artists – mostly in their twenties – Showcasing a new attitude and approach to artistic production that will probably define the Indonesian art practices in the years to come. Or perhaps they won’t but why bother now?
More importantly, these works suggest that there was a time when art was just something that we want to do, want to make, and be happy with it. ” Taken from the writing on the wall of the exhibition.
