Dono was born in Jakarta on June 12, 1960. He studied at the Indonesian Art Institute (Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta, where he won the Prize for the Best Painting in 1981 as well as in 1985. He presented his work worldwide in a great number of solo and group exhibitions.

He is mainly active as an installation artist, and works with materials that come from varying places in the world. In his work, known influences can be noticed, like the life of the ordinary man, wayang kulit, becak driver and tau tau sculptures of the Toraja in Sulawesi.

      • Heri Dono (b. Indonesia, 1960) Penunggang Kuda Beneran (The Real Horse Rider), 2018
        Jul. 17, 2022

        Heri Dono (b. Indonesia, 1960) Penunggang Kuda Beneran (The Real Horse Rider), 2018

        Est: RM50,000 - RM80,000

        The provocative Indonesian artist Heri Dono fuses traditional folk art with contemporary idioms and happenings in the Now, with trademark caricatures drawn from the Javanese wayang. “His sense of humour — the fundamental wiring pattern of a broadly visioned, acutely alert and empathetic mind — is firmly rooted both in the fun and seriousness…,” wrote Astri Wright. The quest for global domination can be vicious. In the global chessboard, there are no good guys, though one of the self-christened saviours here is garbed in the superhero Batman’s outfit. He’s waving a red flag with the hammer-and-sickle emblem, a symbol of communism, seemingly in triumph rather than a peaceful gesture. The one with the orange mop hair who looks like a trigger-happy gunslinger, and a dotard to boot, has no good intention either, with a fawning gesture of surrender with upraised hands. While one (resemble Donald Trump?) is astride a ‘plaything’ rocking horse, the other’s ‘steed’ is one with monstrous claws on its forelegs. With all the purported weapons of death populating the composition, there’s little to suggest a conflict, more likely a collusion of convenience. So, what martial music is being played in the backdrop, the Russian State Anthem or the Star-Spangled Banner? The Prince Claus Award (Belgium, 1998), the Unesco Prize at the Shanghai Biennale (2000) and Indonesia’s covetous Anugerah Adhikarya Rupa (2014) – all these rank as outstanding accolades of Heri Dono, who has been invited to premier art events such as the Asia-Pacific Triennial (Brisbane, 1993) and biennales in Venice (2003 and 2015), São Paulo (1996), Havana (2000), Gwangju (1995, 2006, 2014), Shanghai (2000), Yokohama (2001) and Sharjah (2005). He had solo exhibitions in Asia, United States, Australia and Canada, and since 1990, art residencies in United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. He has also taken part in Art Stage Singapore, Art Bali, Art Jakarta, ArtJog and Art Expo Malaysia, etc.

        HERI DONO (b. 1960) THE DIALOG BETWEEN PRINCE DIPONEGORO AND GOVERNOR GENERAL DAEDELS, 2010, Acrylic and collage on canvas

        Est: RM20,000 - RM32,000

        It’s a one-way dialogue if one is looking at the barrel of a gun when talking about or negotiating something. That is the case of Prince Diponegoro, who virtually had to go on all fours with the tail between the legs some more, when talking to the supercilious Dutch plenipotentiary Gen. Herman Willem Daendels. Diponegoro, the oldest son of Hamengkubuwono III, started the Java War in 1825-1830 but was tricked and exiled to Manado and then Makassar. This episode was also taken up on canvas by Raden Saleh. The caricature style akin to wayang kulit used by Heri Dono is dubbed “language without any text.”Heri Dono, an artist-sculptor-installation artist, won the Prince Claus Award in 1998 and the Unesco Prize in the Shanghai Biennale in 2000.

        Est: RM19,000 - RM28,000

        Trust Heri Dono to use the Indonesian pioneer artist Raden Saleh Sjarif Boestaman (1811-1880) as his entry point in some of his socio-political works like in Raden Saleh With Badman, Raden Saleh With Flying Angel apart from appropriating Raden’s much touted Diponegoro, with a Raden cameo in the canvas. Here, the moustachioed Raden in profile with a pipe in mouth and a Moroccan fez as headgear, ruminates about the future, creatures shown in floating ghostly manifestations and apparently looking to him for approval. His caricatures are derived from comics, animation and Javanese puppet theatre (he was mentored by the legendary Sukasman), and the excesses of the Suharto regime (1967-1998) give him a lot of fodder for criticisms in his art. Heri Dono is unquestionably one of Indonesia’s most sought-after artist-sculptor (also installations) with his brand of Heri-donology and with invitations to more than two-dozen art biennales, including the Venice Biennale (Zone of Urgency curatorial show) in 2003. He made his Henry Butcher debut in the April 13, 2014 auction.Heri Dono famously studied at the Indonesian Institute of Art in Yogyakarta for seven years (1980-1987), even winning the Best Painting Prize in 1981, but deliberately dropping out just before graduation on principle. He said: “No institution can guarantee that with a certificate, you can be an artist. So I did an experiment for myself to see if I did not get a certificate — could I still be an artist?” His won the Unesco Prize at the Shanghai Biennale in 2000, but his biggest accolade was Belgium’s Prince Claus Award in 1998. He has had solos in the United States, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Japan, Britain and Switzerland.

        Painter, sculptor, installation artist and teacher, Heri Dono is one of the best-known contemporary Indonesian artists with a high international profile. His works are often trenchant commentaries on politics, society and the environment (deforestation in Kalimantan and Sumatra) in Indonesia, particularly during the Suharto ruling regime from 1967 to 1998. His characters are forged in wayang kulit imagery and puppetry, a result of his one-year tutelage under master Sukasman in 1987.He graduated from Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (1980-87), where he won the Best Painting Prize in 1981 and 1985 but decided to drop out as a matter of principle.His accolades include the Prince Claus Award from the Netherlands (1998), the Unesco Prize for Shanghai Biennale (2000). Since 1990, he has had residencies in Switzerland, Britain, the United States, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Brazil. He has participated in major events such as the first Asia-Pacific Triennial in Brisbane (1993), the Zone of Urgency in the 2003 Venice Biennale, and Art Stage Singapore (2014).
