Artist Bio
(b. 1993, Padang, Indonesia)
Ridho Rizki pursued his art education at the Faculty of Fine Arts ISI Yogyakarta (Indonesian Institute of Arts Yogyakarta). In 2017, he received the Emerging Artist Award at Bakaba #6, held at the Sakato Art Community, Yogyakarta. He was also selected as a finalist for the Young Artist Award by RedBase Yogyakarta in 2016, and awarded Best Drawing Fundamental II at ISI Yogyakarta in 2015 and 2014.
Rizki’s artwork evokes the sensation of still life paintings, yet his interest lies not in the symbolic but the dramatic and optical aspects of an object. Merging pointillism, impressionism, and still life, his paintings have drawn the attention of regional collectors for their technical virtuosity and subtlety. While previously, Rizki primarily employed a monochromatic colour palette, Rizki is currently exploring a painting technique that uses solid colour particles to emulate how human eyes perceive forms.
