ALBERT YONATHAN SETYAWAN

Albert Yonathan (b. 1983) received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ceramic Studio at the Faculty of Art and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) in 2007, and an MA in Visual Arts also at ITB in 2012. The artist uses ceramics as a high conceptual and performative art.  His works explore the spiritual dynamics between humans and the natural world, combining hundreds of manually moulded ceramics arranged into patterned configurations.  Following geometric formations imbued with an ancient symbolic meaning, they bring a sense of the meditative and the spiritual. Recurrent themes are birds and humans arranged repetitively, while labyrinths appear in circular or rectangular shapes.

His work for “Sakti’’, Cosmic Labyrinth: The Silent Path, is made of 1,200 ceramic objects in the form of stupas. The work is also meant as a spiritual meditation in order to find enlightenment through transformative energy, the power of Sakti.
