작품 상세

The theme of multi-disciplinary artist Ugo Untoro straddles time and space, particularly in this Time Series, on the fortuity and destiny of meetings and separation, the durability and tenuous ephemeral nature: a short meeting can have abiding effects, while a long-drawn meeting might he short-lived in the long run. Such is the nature of the instantaneous moment, which is Ugo Untoro’s metier in the conception and process of his works. Painter-sculptor-video-maker and performing artist Ugo Untoro was named Man of the Year in 2007 by Indonesia’s revered Tempo magazine. As he excels not only as a painter, but also a poet, a sculptor, a video-maker and a performing artist, it’s not surprising that he is represented internationally by the reputed Arndt. In 2006, he was invited to Malaysia to stage his Short Short Stories exhibition at Valentine Willie Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur, which was repeated in Art Forum in Singapore in 2007. Ugo Untoro studied at the Indonesian Art Institute (ISI) in Yogyakarta in 1988-1996. He had more than 10 solos since his first at Bentara Budaya Yogyakarta in 1995. He won the Philip Morris Asean Art Awards – Indonesia in 1998.
