Abdi Setiawan
(b. 1971 in Sicincin, Pariaman, West Sumatra, Indonesia)

Abdi Setiawan is a sculptor who lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Abdi’s work is installation-based, and features life-size wood sculptures of everyday Indonesians in various social settings. He deploys his wood carving skill to manifest his imagination and perception to depict Indonesian human figures as he sees them. His rendering of the figures is so realistic and infused with life and they often pokes us with good-humoured satire.

Has been with Sin Sin Fine Art since 2009.
