Nurdian Ichsan graduated from the Faculty of Fine Art and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology majoring in ceramics art in 1997. He then finished his master’s degree in 2002 at the same institute. Besides actively works as an artist, he is also one of the teaching staff at the Faculty of Fine Art and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology. His artworks show distinctive tendencies as part of the ceramics art development that is sculptural ceramic. Two things that are always in his artworks are human and brick figures. Each of these objects has a different association. Bricks and buildings are associated with the concept of ‘man-made space’ reflecting problems that interest Nurdian Ichsan: the relation between humans and spaces. His brick artworks are shown in an effect of space simulation that can connect us with our experiences and memories about the presence of the characters in another represented space or an illusive space.
