Dadang Christanto is a contemporary Indonesian artist whose work, through the use of traditional forms, re–evaluates the social, political and cultural context in which he works. Central to Dadang's recent works is a scroll painted and drawn in a semifigurative manner, which takes the form of the centuries old tradition of the "Wayang Beber".
The Australia–Indonesia Institute, Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Canberra, has generously provided funding for the exhibition and the artists travel to Adelaide.
