Sudarso

Sudarso's journey began when he was still delivering milk to one of his customers, who happened to be Affandi. He found inspiration in Affandi's expertise and started spending hours each day observing Affandi at work near the canvas.

Affandi was impressed by Sudarso's natural talent and generously shared his remaining paint with him. Sudarso continued his training by working alongside several young painters in Bandung, including Affandi, Barli, Wahdi, Hendra, and Koos. Sudarso's painting style leans toward an impressive and realistic approach. He is also renowned as a figurative and nude painter.

In this collection, we have his painting titled “Boats,” depicting boats on the shore, adorned with depictions of the deep blue sea that darkens in the deeper side. The gray clouds and blue sky further enhance the stunning view at the top of the painting.

Rustamadji

Born in Surabaya, East Java on April 16, 1932, Rustamadji began painting under the guidance of the artist S. Sudjojono at Sanggar Indonesia Muda (Young Indonesian Artists Association) in Madiun in 1946. Transitioning from a naturalistic style in the 1950s to an impressionistic approach, he actively took part in numerous exhibitions both in Indonesia and abroad. He resided in Surabaya until his passing in 1990.

A.D Pirous (no 22-23)

A.D. Pirous was influenced by the Ries Mulder group, making him master the art of developing his unique style, particularly in portraying natural landscapes, flora, fauna, and abstract forms. Pirous' expertise has led him to solo and group exhibitions, both domestically and internationally, showcasing his work and his name in cities and countries like Jakarta, London, Brazil, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Tokyo, Australia, and Taiwan.

This painting titled “Noktah-noktah putih di atas Bidang Horizontal,” features white dots set against a blue backdrop, with a blend of white and gray in the background. Towards the bottom of the painting, Pirous included a striking contrast of reddish-orange and blue.

Choosing to pursue a career as a graphic artist led him to innovate a new genre called Islamic calligraphy. He emerged as a prominent figure in the sector of calligraphy painting, establishing himself as a contemporary artist with an Islamic heritage. As depicted in this painting titled “Ar Rohman,” it is based on the significance of the name Allah SWT, signifying Most Merciful. The painting is dominated by blue and green colors, with the inscription of Ar Rahman in gold at the top, and the left side adorned in orange.

Pardoli Fadli

Pardoli Fadli showcased his solo exhibitions at various venues in Australia, including Maestro Inn in Perth (1997), Harvey's Gallery in Perth (1998), and the City Hotel in Melbourne (2003). He consciously embraced artistic independence as a means of expressing his emotions and ideas during the creative process. Pardoli Fadli's artwork embodies a captivating realist style added with his imagination. His deliberate choice of artistic independence shines through as he skillfully expresses his emotions within his creations.

One of the notable highlights is his masterful depiction of the harvest theme as shown in "Panen Raya-Dieng", spanning 100 x 150 centimeters of oil on canvas, we are transported to the enchanting ambiance of Dieng during the harvest season. The grand harvest represents not just prosperity but also abundant fortune, beautifully conveyed through the collaborative efforts of farmers working together to gather the rice. In this painting, Pardoli Fadli encapsulates a profound principle - that true success is achieved through unity and shared endeavor.
