Suanjaya Kencut

I Putu Adi Suanjaya, also known as Kencut, is a visual artist working primarily with paintings, sculptures and installations. He derived his inspiration from the traditional Balinese art and modern art installations he grew up surrounded by. The dolls are the main subjects in Kencut's work. He aims to bring them to life by placing them in real-life situations. The dolls seem to live through human emotions, struggles and life joys. The flat backgrounds and bold colour choices give an illustrative feeling to his works yet drive the viewer to envision themselves in the dolls' shoes. ‍ 2023 | “Social Circle” GR Gallery, New York 2022 | “Unlimited Frames” Lorin Gallery, Los Angeles 2021 | “From Me, to You” Ruci Art Space, Jakarta 2020 | “Repeat” Artotel Gajah Mada, Semarang
