Born in 1995

Adytria Negara (b. 1995, Indonesia) explores the possibilities of two-dimensional form through painting, focusing on the subtle interplay between depiction, perception, and material presence. By rendering carefully arranged everyday objects with precision and realism, he reconsiders the boundary between what is seen and what is understood—between an image’s surface and the reality it suggests. His practice opens a space to question the moment when a depiction stops representing and begins becoming, tracing how perception, illusion, and materiality shape our experience of the world of objects.
