| Born in Solo, C. Java, Indonesia, 1931, died 2022. During the Revolution, he fought in the Students’ Army and was a member of SIM / Young Indonesian Artists. In 1953, Srihadi enrolled in ITB / Bandung Institute of Technology. There, he was influenced by the Cubist-inspired style of his Dutch teacher, Ries Mulder. In 1959 he graduated from ITB. He obtained his master’s degree at Ohio State University in the United States where he studied from 1960-1962. His sojourn overseas influenced him to experiment with pure abstraction in the 1960s but he was soon to return to figuration. By the early 1970s he had developed a meditative semi-abstract style with broad sweeps of pure colours. In 1980 he returned to Ohio State University under a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship for a research program. Srihadi has taught at and chaired the art departments in ITB and IKJ / Jakarta Institute of the Arts. He has received many art and achievement awards in Indonesia and overseas. Since 1962, Srihadi has held numerous solo exhibitions in the USA, Indonesia, Australia, The Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Japan. Since 1945, he has participated in group exhibitions in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, China, Japan, India, Taipei, Korea, Australia, Bahrain, USA, Brazil, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. | |
