Born in Cianjur, a small town in West Java, Agus Wijaya is an Indonesian artist of Chinese background who now lives in Australia. 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.
Wijaya has been selected as a finalist in the Grace Cossington Smith, North Sydney Art Prize, Fisher’s Ghost, Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize and the churchie at the Institute of Modern Art. He will next present his work at Pari and Sydney Contemporary 2023, and is one of the four artists commissioned as part of the expansion project by Newcastle Art Gallery.
