Yoes Rizal
Yoes Rizal (born 24 April 1956 in Palembang) is an Indonesian painter. He graduated in 1985 from the Department of Art & Design at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), under Indonesian Muchtar Apin, Kaboel Soeadi, Ahmad Sadali, Sanento Yuliman, Umi Dachlan and Joan Sommers, master of Sumi-e (North Carolina). Yoes Rizal is an Abstract expressionist painter. Yoes rejects the notion that art artwork can be explained in relation to a single message or story, believing such explanations to be posturing: “My work is not final, that’s the problem. The idea is not ending at this size. It  has to be continued, it’s a process,” Yoes Rizal's humanist and intuitive-reflective nature lends real depth to his treatment of the human figure and the way human interactions are depicted. We encounter here statements of universal power about the human condition. Selected solo exhibition.
