After becoming a father, Dedy Sufriadi was inspired to explore depictions of the surrounding world as if through the eyes of a child. The artist conflates text, drawings and scribbles in one captivating painting, in which numerous child-like renderings of animals fill the canvas. The artist’s quick scribbles injects the work with invigorating energy, which is reinforced by the warm colours he uses for the background of the painting. Through his unique artistic technique Dedy creates a vibrant world inhabited with fascinating creatures, akin to one a child might conjure from their vivid imagination.
His works contain a sense of spirituality and he tries to convey the essence of a subject in his paintings.
