A graduate from the Indonesian Institute for the Arts (ISI) in Yogyakarta, Yunizar (b. 1971, Indonesia) is a prominent member of the Jendela group, Indonesia’s most prominent contemporary art collective. An influential figure in the burgeoning Indonesian art scene, Yunizar has garnered critical acclaim on an international level. Known for negating aesthetic orthodoxies, the Jendela Group artist creates work that liberates imagination and genuine expression. He rejects the functional and rational, choosing instead to follow his primal inclinations. Yunizar’s work brings to mind images of childlike doodles and scribbles. Using thick, uneven lines in a subtle palette of mainly yellows, browns and greens, he further suggests the impression of cave paintings. These doodles of both recognisable animals and imaginary creatures then generate a limitless world of whimsical rhythm.
