Andy Dewantoro was born in 1973 in Tanjung Karang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Dewantoro mainly focused on architecture in his early years after education. He graduated from the Bandung Institute of Technology in 2000 and his early art works inclined towards being abstract art. According to Dewantoro’s public CV on Sin Sin Art’s website (n.d.), it quotes that “during a residency in Europe Dewantoro was deeply impacted by the landscape paintings of 19^th century visionaries William Turner and John Constable, leading to a breakthrough in the development of his own, deeply auratic works” (para. 1). His artworks represent his fascination with landscape art and they remind us of how easily we forget and move on from physical infrastructure.
