Yuli Prayitno
is a sculptor with an immense curiosity for materials, objects, and everything surrounding them. A visit to his studio will make you feel like you’ve gone to an antique shop or a museum of everyday life. His eyes light up when we ask him about one of the objects in her studio, be it a work-in-progress, a finished piece, or a second-hand object he’d found in another antique shop. Yuli’s artistic practice is centred on value, respect, instead of economics and presumption.
His works have been exhibited in Cemeti Institute for Arts and Society, Yogyakarta; Equator Arts Project, Singapore; ART JOG; Jogja National Museum; Art Stage Singapore; Macro Testaccio, Roma; Art Basel Hong Kong; Galerie Christian Hosp, Berlin; Hong Kong Convention Centre and Exhibition; Primo Marella Gallery, Milan; Melbourne Art Fair; Biennale Jogja; Nadi Gallery, Jakarta; Galeri Nasional Indonesia; and the CP Biennale.
