S. T e d d y D a r m a w a n
Born in 1970 in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Currently lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The works of S.Teddy, be they drawings, paintings and installations, always shows formal as well as technical simplicity. He seems to be ever suspicious of, or keeping from, making works of “high art” pretension, in other words, he is an artist ceaselessly inquiring about the meaning of art to himself. With such a stance, S. Teddy never gets entrapped in given limited techniques, media and themes. The simple techniques and forms of his works convey from personal issue through socio-political criticism full of humor.
