Bandung-born Tisna Sanjaya is well-known for producing work with strong aesthetics and expression in a social, political and environmental context. Actively involved ‘artistic protests’, Tisna differs from many artists as he works to fight against injustices whilst generating activity that encourages quality of life and beauty in his surroundings. In Tisna, these two sides are inseparable and although visible at varying degrees; sometimes the ‘expression of caring’ is more dominant; at other times ‘aesthetic expression’ is more important — neither is sacrificed nor lost.
