Heri Dono (Indonesian, b. 1960) is a contemporary Indonesian artist known for his inventive mélange of traditional folk art with contemporary imagery. Throughout his practice, he combines diverse source material such as wayang kulit (shadow puppets), Western pop culture, and socio-political issues in paintings and installations.
A graduate of the Indonesian Art Institute in Yogyakarta, Dono’s works seek to disrupt and contradict the mainstream narratives of Western art and its control over international art practices. He represented Indonesia in the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 and his works are in the collections of the Deutsche Guggenheim in Frankfurt, the Fukuoka Art Museum in Japan, the Singapore Art Museum, the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, and the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, among others. He lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
This print was produced during Dono’s residency program at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI), and the artist writes “Pada suatu hari saya di Singapore buat print di STPI buat karya yang bagus. (One day I am in Singapore making a print work at STPI that is very nice.)”
*Image background has been composited. The artwork and the frame are the actual pieces.
