RUDY MARDIJANTO : Untitled, 2006
Est: RM3,500 - RM6,000
"Rudy Mardijanto is an Indonesian artist who loves to centre his art on his rural homeland. While he celebrates the culture, tradition and way of life of rural Indonesians, the clashing of tradition and modernity has always been a theme in his artworks _ placing laptops and mobile phones in the presence of baju kurung and baju kebaya- clad women. His use of modern technology in his art pieces is not depicted as a disruption to cultural life, but rather a blending of inevitable modernisation into age-old culture. In this painting, the artist once again highlights the day-to-day life of villagers in rural Indonesia, allowing viewers to experience Indonesiaês culture and tradition through the artistês eyes."

RUDY MARDIJANTO (b. 1967) HAGGLING AT THE MARKET, 2008, Acrylic on canvas
Est: RM6,000 - RM10,000
In Java, it is said that to be a real man, one has to have a house, a wife, a horse, a keris and yes, a bird! Songbird contests are the rave in Indonesia with one in every five households said to be keeping birds as pets and for competition. A 2005 survey estimated that there are 2.6 million birds in captivity in Indonesia’s five biggest cities. Some are kept as good-luck charms and others as status symbols. Which is why you find almost all the people haggling in the market in Rudy Mardijanto’s painting to be men. They are all huddled in groups attentively looking at the birds on offer, as if examining some precious gems. To city-slickers, keeping birds remind them of life in the village. There are birdclub congregations with specialized jockeys to train these birds. The more popular songbirds are the orange-headed thrush, chestnut-headed thrush, long-tailed shrike and the white-rumped shama. Indeed, the demand is so great that some 131 species in Indonesia are ‘red-listed’ as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and even an Asian Songbird Crisis Summit was held in Singapore (September 2015).Rudy Mardijanto is a familiar face in Malaysia, having been featured by the H Gallery of Jakarta in the International Art Expo Malaysia eight times and given a solo by interpr8 gallery in Kuala Lumpur called Indonesia’s Rural Society in Transition in December 2013-January 2014. He was educated at the Indonesian Institute of Art (ISI) in Yogyakarta. He was a finalist in the Indonesian-level Asean Art Award in 2001. In the Henry Butcher April 2016 auction, his work hit a record RM7,840 and in the April 23 auction, a work sold for RM7,280.

RUDY MARDIJANTO (b. 1967) KUDA KEPANG, 2007, Acrylic on canvas
Est: RM6,000 - RM10,000
Rudy Mardijanto is no stranger to Malaysia, having taken part in the prestigious International Art Expo Malaysia under Jakarta’s H Gallery eight times, and was even present a few times to give demonstration of his art, and to mingle with his growing number of collectors. He was given a solo, Indonesia Rural Society in Transition, by Interpr8 Art Space in Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur, in December 2013-January 2014. His work, Selamat Hari Lebaran (2008), fetched a premium of RM7,840 at the Henry Butcher April 17, 2016 auction. He had also two solo exhibitions in Singapore. What is touching about Mardijanto’s oeuvre is that he paints about a slowly vanishing rural life in Indonesia, where the camaraderie and communal spirit are alien to city folk. Mardijanto also touches on the festivals like Hari Debaran and cultural heritage like kuda kepang, congkak and wayang kulit, something also much similar in Malaysia. The kuda kepang originated in Java, Indonesia, with a brood of nine dancers “riding” on flat woven-bamboo horses with paints and cloth. The Malaysian version is different. He was a finalist of the Indonesian component of the Asean Art Award in 2001. Mardijanto was educated at the Indonesian Institute of Art (ISI) in Yogyakarta.
