Septian Adie Perdana (b. Indonesia) is a contemporary painter whose distinctive fusion of realism and surrealism explores the intricate terrain of the human psyche. He approaches painting as a “playground for emotions,” transforming memory, humour, and introspection into vibrant visual allegories.
Graduating from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta, Septian has developed a body of work that is both intimate and universal — narratives drawn from his own experiences yet resonating with shared emotion. His paintings often combine meticulous realism with dreamlike distortions, revealing psychological depth beneath their joyful surface.
Perdana’s career continues to ascend, marked by solo and group exhibitions across Indonesia, including:
- Trans-Gensi (Andis Gallery, 2023)
- Re-Generation (Jogja Gallery, 2022)
- Re-Form (Andis Gallery, 2021)
…and participation in Art Jakarta 2022. His ongoing collaboration with Andis Gallery reflects his growing reputation and sustained market visibility.
Through his luminous compositions and emotional wit, Septian redefines the relationship between chaos and play, art and introspection. His paintings invite viewers to rediscover the poetry hidden within the everyday — a reminder that resilience, too, can be radiant.
