“Made Me Dirty” Ardi Gunawan Solo Exhibition Show

Made Me Dirty is the latest solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Ardi Gunawan curated by Hendro Wiyanto, presenting a body of work that oscillates between satire, political critique, emotional expression, and cultural / mass media observation.

Taking place from 4 July to 12 September 2025 at 4 PM – 8 PM, with the ISA Art Gallery being open on Tuesdays – Sundays at 11 AM – 6 PM, the exhibition captures Ardi’s fascination with mess as methodology.

Known for his humorous, grotesque, and personal visual language, Ardi transforms paint into an unruly, “sculptural” material, one that resists control while embracing contradiction. The title, Made Me Dirty, references both the literal chaos of his studio practice and the symbolic grime of navigating labor, identity, and mass culture.
