Gilang Fradika graduated from Yogyakarta State University, Department of Fine Arts, in 2012, with a Major in Graphic Arts.
Working mostly with two-dimensional surfaces, particularly in painting and etching, Gilang’s work process attempts to understand the interaction between creatures and the social response of people, with imagined objects as alternative forms and metaphors. These objects are a combination and deformation of many overlapping images; the anatomy of the human body, plants, animals, and the occasional pop culture icons.
