Krishnamurti Suparka
Krishnamurti Suparka is an artist and writer based in Bandung, Indonesia. His practice is grounded in notions of drawing, whose articulations range from the paper-based to mixed-media installations. He uses drawing’s inherent transitory nature as a foundation for subsequent explorations across surfaces, often engaging in treatments involving the material and the conceptual. Drawing in this context is synonymous with trace; of what was, what is, and what could be; encouraging multiple viewpoints in approaching the works.
His works are reflections on contemporary society. Of the consequences of history, technology, and material progress upon nature and the human, of information abundance and its effects on knowledge acquisition in an increasingly memefied/post-truth spectacle-reality, and on the workings of language and linguistic codes in a connected world; all rendered in the vocabularies of abstraction and conceptualism.
