Notes

"Budi likes balanced compositions but also loves to represent the incredible on canvas. His bodies are depicted in positive or negative spaces, indicating appearance or disappearance, and defiance or adherence to the laws of gravity. The colour green is prevalent in his works and is meant as a symbol of nature or culture... The white field builds a kind of grid, a boundary, while the flat background is an essential part of his painting philosophy."
