Artist Bio
(b. 1988, Bantul, Indonesia)
Rosit Mulyadi, more commonly known as Ocid, was born into a conservative and deeply religious farming family in the southern coastal region of Bantul, Java. Before pursuing a career in fine arts, he spent six years in an Islamic boarding school, where his first encounter with art came through Arabic calligraphy. While most of his peers continued with religious studies, Mulyadi chose a different path, enrolling at the Institut Seni Indonesia (The Indonesia Institute of the Arts) in Yogyakarta, where he majored in painting.
Mulyadi’s work has been exhibited in numerous notable group exhibitions, including Noughties by Nature in Singapore, ARTJOG Resilience (2020), Kembulan at Studio Kalahan Heri Dono, Jammin’ in the Name of the Lord at Masriadi Art Foundation, i:Observe at Jogja Contemporary, and the 26th Yogyakarta Arts Festival. He held his first solo exhibition, Still Life, at Jogja Contemporary in 2017, followed by A Scanner Darkly at Gajah Gallery Yogyakarta in 2020.
Mulyadi currently lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
