Alfi Jumaldi (b. 1972)

Alfi Jumaldi was born 1972 in Lintau, West Sumatra, Indonesia. After studying at the Indonesian Institute of Arts in Yogyakarta in 1999, he co-founded and became a member of Jendela Art Group, a prominent contemporary artist collective. Most of the members were experiencing the early phase of their careers, creating work which surprised art audiences in Indonesia as the subject matter were far removed from socio-political themes and realistic painting. Instead, the Jendala Art Group showed inclination for extreme naïvism in the form of meaningless ‘doodles’ or formalism – that was also extreme – by drawing exclusively on minimal visual elements of line, color and texture. In 2010, he co-founded the Artists Collective, Office: For Contemporary Art International in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Alfi Jumaldi was nominated for the 10th Indonesian Art Awards (2003, Finalist) and the 5th Indonesian Art Awards, The Best Painting Awards, Indonesian Insitute of Art (ISI), Yogyakarta, Indonesia (1998, Finalist). He currently lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Ah Leon 陳景亮 (b. 1953)

Born in 1953, Ah Leon is one of Taiwan’s most renowned ceramic artists. He graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts in 1976, and from 1978 to 1982, sought the apprenticeship of famous ceramic artists throughout Taiwan In 1982, he participated in a artist-in-residency at the State of University of New York, USA. Ah Leon has exhibited extensively in Asia, Europe and America since 1985, including the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the National Ceramics Museum in Denmark, the Phoenix Art Museum in Arizona, and the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Los Angeles. Ah Leon’s works are collected by renowned Museums including the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Taiwan Museum of Art in Taichung the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Ah Leon’s works have been described as a trompe l’oeil, or a deception of the eyes; as he indulges in the manipulation of clay to mimic the silken, softness of bean curd, or the sturdiness of wood. Viewers are engaged in a rare, sensory experience, as the delicate touch of the ceramic, lies contradictory to the visual enticement of the impersonating ‘wood’ or ‘tofu’, eliciting humorous responses, as one vacillates between realism and fabrication.
