Biography
Heri Dono is a contemporary Indonesian artist known for his inventive mélange of traditional folk art with contemporary imagery. Throughout his practice, he combines diverse source material such as wayang kulit (shadow puppets), Western pop culture, and socio-political issues in paintings and installations.

His works seek to disrupt and contradict the mainstream narratives of Western art and its control over international art practices.
