Agus Wijaya is an Indonesian artist of Chinese background, who now lives in Australia and works primarily as a graphic / motion designer. He embraces what are seen as separate cultures and disciplines, for they all have a part in his identity construction and practice. His works make similar connections, serving as his place of reconciliation.
Born in Cianjur, a small town in West Java, Indonesia, Wijaya has been working professionally across illustration and graphic design for many years. Yearning for a more personal and contemplative matter, Wijaya returned to artmaking six years ago. His works have been selected as award finalists in the Fisher’s Ghost, Grace Cossington Smith and North Sydney Art Prize. Wijaya’s works have been included in art publications and are in private collections in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
After taking a break in 2019, Wijaya will show his new body of work in his third solo exhibition, Tata Reka, at Stanley Street Gallery.
