Gatot Widodo
Born in 1968, in Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia
Graduated from the Indonesia Institute of Art (ISI) in Yogyakarta in 1988.
Most of the figures depicted by Gatot are flat, reminiscent of the Wayang Kulit figures (traditional Javanese leather shadow puppets). We can also see traces of batik workmanship in his paintings. He arranges the figures like a puppet show, with each figure having its own personality and all interacting with one another as if in a play. The depiction of the floating figures, head looking upwards, implies a fairy tale and offer a sense of mystery, making his work interesting to explore.
Gatot’s paintings exude the sweet smell of love and serenade songs. They also offer a sense of mystery, making his work interesting to explore. Gatot lives in Jakarta
