Affandi 阿凡迪

A master of expression, with penchant for drama,  Affandi is undeniably one of the most important artists in the canon of Southeast Asian art history.  Colosseum, Roma, marks a breakthrough in the artist's opus, embodying all the hallmarks of an iconic masterpiece while reveling in the freshness of the artist's personal discoveries abroad.  The work is one of only three known works of the subject and sets Affandi apart as a foremost modernist Indonesian artist of his generation.

阿凡迪精於表現情感,偏好戲劇效果,無疑是東南亞藝術史上最重要的藝術家之一。《羅 馬競技場》標誌著阿凡迪在藝術創作上的一項突破, 除了呈現此座建築名作的所有特徵 外, 還洋溢著他身處海外時對新發現的嶄新感悟。此作是已知僅有三幅以羅馬競技場為題 的作品之一, 亦令阿凡迪成為同代最頂尖的印尼現代主義藝術家。
