Biography


In English

I Wayan Subudi Yadnyana, a.k.a Swoofone, was born in Denpasar in 1994.

He expresses himself through paintings, video mapping, multi-disciplined collaborations and more. Identified by his limited palette and design sensibility, he is an emerging artist with a definite and eye-catching style. Swoofone has confirmed his presence within the sphere of Balinese contemporary art.

“Initially, my designs grew from observing the landscape and traditional architecture. I was then attracted to the old European, Japanese and Indian architectural styles. I studied Balinese Hindu mythology and teachings that I wanted to translate,” said Swoofone, who also dedicates himself to helping organise local exhibitions. “The basis of my colour expression is Tri Datu: consisting of red, white and black representing the Balinese cycle of reincarnation. I like the limited colours. I want to explore the potential, and then maybe add other colours later.”

Examples of work

The Book of Infinite Knowledge

‘The Book of Infinite Knowledge’ 2020, exhibited in ‘Raga Rhythm’ by Wildskids late in 2020 at Titik Dua in Mas, pays homage to Saraswati the Balinese Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Art and Learning. “The process of creating such layered works involves a dedicated focus. Working with cardboard cutting individual pieces attached to board he constructs 3-dimensional works of up to 10 layers. A single work of one-meter square may require up to one week.” Swoofone’s compositions give the impression of dimensional reliefs. One of the Balinese Classical paintings’ less-identified influences is the narrative reliefs of the 9th- century Central Javanese Buddhists temple, the Borobudur.
