Nyoman Masriadi
Nyoman Masriadi is a contemporary Indonesian artist whose paintings often explore narratives that are embedded within his own cultural roots. Celebrated for his distinctive style, Masriadi’s paintings blend traditional Balinese art with contemporary themes. In the present work a larger-than-life figure dominates the canvas, exuding a sense of immense power and authority. The main subject depicted by Masriadi corresponds to the title of Great Daddy. Rendered against a rather simplistic background, the figures in Great Daddy embody both strength and vulnerability, reflecting cultural narratives and societal expectations surrounding fatherhood and masculinity.
The present work is thought provoking and has a commanding presence when viewed in the flesh. Conveying movement and emotion, Masriadi depicts a middle-aged man with a robust physique, whose muscles rapidly tighten as he carries his daughter on the back while staring vigilantly forward. Embracing a dynamic sprint start position, both figures showcase their confidence in navigating the challenges and uncertainties ahead. This demonstrates Masriadi’s skilful approach to implementing humour and satire to critique societal norms and expectations, perhaps reflecting on the complexities

About The Artist
My background is rooted in minimal and graphic communication and visual narratives. I am exploring many different ideas in my work, thus the form and medium is varied. My interest is in traditional art and building upon those foundations in new ways.
