Anusapati
Indonesia
Anusapati was born in Surakarta, Indonesia, in September 1957. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Drs/BFA) from "ASRI" College Yogyakarta (1983) and continued his studies at the School of Art and Design, Pratt Institute, New York, USA, earning his MFA (1990). Currently, he is listed as one of the administrators of the Indonesian Sculptors Association (API) and serves as the head of development and programs. API currently has 143 members, reflecting the growing popularity of the sculpting profession.
Anusapati is known for his strong conceptual approach to sculpture, often working with materials that carry symbolic and cultural weight. His works frequently explore the relationship between material, memory, and place—rooted in Indonesia’s natural environment and history. Through wood, stone, and metal, Anusapati questions the tension between permanence and transformation, as well as tradition and contemporary reflection.
Anusapati's recent works have been featured in the “Veranda Contemporary Exhibition” Group Exhibition at Redbase Foundation Indonesia, Yogyakarta (2016). Highlights of his solo exhibitions include shows at OFCA International (Sarang Building, Yogyakarta), Sin Sin Fine Art (Hong Kong), Sangkring Artspace (Yogyakarta), and Galeri Mon Décor (Jakarta).
Awards that Anusapati has received include Best Work ASRI (1993), Biennale IX Jakarta, and the Second Triennial of Sculpture.
