I Made Widya Diputra (1981) or mostly known as ‘Lampung’, is a Balinese artist who graduated from the Sculpture Department, ISI (Indonesian Arts Institute) Yogyakarta. Part of the new group of young Balinese artists, Lampung is a member of Sanggar Dewata Indonesia, following the footsteps of his well known contemporaries such as Nyoman Gunarsa, Made Wianta, Made Djirna and Nyoman Masriadi. His works respond to the perpetually changing nature of today’s contemporary art, while also keeping his ties with his traditional Balinese roots. Often his works are an interpretation of Balinese traditions, or critical viewpoints of Indonesia’s socio-political issues. Excelling in the field of sculpture, his works are known for their ability to embrace the space, deploying its environment as a part of the artwork itself. Lampung is also renowned for his use of a variety of materials. He has participated in various group and solo art exhibition like, “Merch Project ARTJOG MMXIX”, Jogja National Museum (2019), “Beyond The Myths” ART BALI, Nusa Dua Bali (2018), “Tribute To The Maestro I Nyoman Gunarsa” SDI Yogyakarta, PPKH UGM Yogyakarta (2017), “Art Central Hongkong” with Redbase Art, Hongkong (2016), “The End of Journey”, Redbase Art Gallery, Ciputra Art World 92014), and many more.
