Ari Bayuaji was born in 1975 in Indonesia and later relocated permanently to Canada, where he studied Fine Arts at Concordia University in Montreal.
Known for his poetic approach to found materials, Bayuaji works between Montreal and Bali, creating installations that uncover the hidden aesthetic value of everyday objects. His practice is rooted in cultural observation and the transformation of ready-made items into new visual narratives. Drawing from materials sourced across the globe, he reflects on social issues through reinterpretation—infusing aged objects with renewed meaning and contemporary relevance.
Bayuaji's recent works have been featured in Tumbuh (2025), Underline (2023), and Embarking on A Wishful Journey (2023), all group exhibitions held at Redbase Art Sydney, Australia.
His works are part of major public and private collections, including the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, La Fondation Agnès B., Coral Triangle Center, and Danfoss. He has also presented works at Redbase Foundation, Yogyakarta, among other international platforms.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
