Bob Yudhita Agung Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1971 -

Bob Yudhita Agung, who calls himself ‘Vincent van Bob’, paints in the Primitive-Naïve vein with the graffiti of Jean-Michel Basquiat. He studied at the Indonesian Institute of Art in Yogyakarta where he received the Affandi Award in 1994. He was in the same batch as Ugo Untoro and S. Teddy D. His style is somewhat a bit like A.R. Penck, Eddie Hara and Malaysia’s Chong Hip Seng. He showed with his former wife, Widi, at the Green Art Space in Yogyakarta in 2016. “I believe I can fly, with paint I believe can fly. Don’t worry be happy,” is his favourite refrain.
