Hendra Gunawan: Sang Pelukis Rakyat / Hendra Gunawan The People’s Painter

In the list of Indonesian modern painters, the name of Hendra Gunawan represents a major figure in the growth and development of modern art in Indonesia. A contemporary of S. Sudjojono, Affandi, Wahdi Soemanta, Sudarso, and Barli Sasmitawinata, Hendra Gunawan's life journey was like ocean waves with their rise and fall, thickness of foam, paradoxes and few ironies. Looking at Hendra Gunawan closely means seeing a person of great empathy towards humanity. He was a person of character. His works that include painting, sculpture and poetry show strong interconnection; things he said were things he did in life and expressed in his works. Sudjojono, an artist of Hendra Gunawan's contemporary, said that Hendra Gunawan's figure and his works formed a unicum. His personality and principles regarding life were always integrated. His revolutionary stance dwells impressively within the forms and colors his works present.
