NURHIDAYAT

Nurhidayat was born in 1973 in Kuningan on the island of Java, Indonesia. He holds a degree in Visual Arts and Crafts from the University of Indonesia in Bandung. His highly personal and powerful drawings have helped shape the art trends in Bandung. From 1994 to 2005, Nurhidayat’s work was published in local and international media. He participated in numerous exhibitions and biennials in Indonesia, becoming one of his country’s most important contemporary artists. He finds inspiration in the collage process, “capturing” the images with which we are bombarded, which he transforms with his virtuosity into painted works of art. Since 2005, he has been pursuing his artistic career and research in France. He exhibited at the Galerie for the first time in 2015, and then many times afterwards, with a cabinet of drawings dedicated to him at Art Paris 2019.
