Biography

SELF POTRET_ALFREDO ESQUILLO JR.jpg

Co-founder of the Jendela Art Group, Handiwirman Saputra (b. 1975, Bukittinggi) is known for his manipulation of mundane everyday materials into mediums of artistic exploration. By modifying and repositioning mediums such as cloth, human hair, corrugated roof sheets and plastic wrap, he challenges expectations and transforms the banal into the majestic. Saputra’s works are often reminiscent of landscapes, figures, vegetation and various memories but at the same time, they also resist association with distinct metaphors or symbols.
