Biography
Eko Nugroho is one of the most active Indonesian artists on the contemporary art scene. His work was first exhibited in 2008 at the National Museum of Singapore and has since been shown in prestigious international institutions and events in solo and group exhibitions.
The artist was 20 years old when in 1998, the autocratic regime of President Suharto, in place for 32 years, fell, overthrown by student demonstrations during violent riots. Eko Nugroho is part of the generation of artists who made their debut during this period of democratic transition and tried various practices in a context of brutal liberation of speech.
His work follows a multidisciplinary approach from the start: drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, interventions in public space. In doing so, he revisits many Indonesian artistic traditions (batik, embroidery, shadow theater) while introducing other modes of creation, those of the contemporary counterculture: comics, fanzine, street art, animation.
