About the artist
Jayanto Tan is a Gadigal-based visual artist who was born and raised in a small town in North Sumatra, Indonesia. His practice draws on his family history and diasporic background, blending Eastern and Western mythologies with the contemporary world and current events. Using ceramic sculptures, found objects, authentic recipes, performances and workshops, his work often opens dialogue with community and investigates how hybrid cultures can create new identities of possibility and hope.
He won the 2021 Georges River Sculpture Art Prize and Highly Commended for the 2023 Fisher’s Ghost Award (Contemporary category). He has conducted arts projects and workshops with diverse communities and museums, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Maitland Regional Art Galery and WorldPride 2023. Jayanto holds a Master of Fine Arts from the National Art School.
Jayanto Tan is represented by Art Atrium, Sydney.
