His grandfather was a classical Javanese glass painter. Graduated from the
Academy of Fine Arts (ISI) in Yogyakarta, Didi Kasi participated in numerous
exhibitions in Indonesia and Singapore. He has also had his own solo exhibitions
in Yogyakarta and Jakarta.
A new vanguard in Indonesian painting, Didi Kasi also is a talented sculptor and
accessories designer who has won several awards. This first exhibition of Didi Kasi
in Surabaya will show his colorful and refreshing paintings that are influenced by

works do bring us into a world somewhere between fiction and reality.
