The first solo European exhibition of celebrated Indonesian contemporary artist * Y U N I Z A R * (b. 1971) opens @ Ben Brown Gallery, London. This exhibition brings together a group of recent paintings and sculptures directly from the artist’s studio in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. ........... Yunizar is a leading figure of the burgeoning Indonesian art scene and is garnering critical and commercial acclaim on an international level. His works are recognised for their enigmatic pictorial language, organic palette and materials, and idiosyncratic and expressive style. Yunizar’s large scale canvases teem with miniscule, cryptic text and imagery obsessively scrawled by the artist in a seemingly na ve manner. The vast expanses of these minute renderings collectively create a sense of movement in the canvases, telling a story in a non-narrative manner. Untitled (2014) is populated with these dense, cartoon-like depictions of humans, animals, symbols, text, and inanimate objects, contained by a rhythmic border of red pigment. Yunizar is a leading member of the Jendela group, Indonesias most prominent contemporary art collective.
