Dedy Sufriadi is one of the rare contemporary Indonesian painters by choosing a risky road, the road that are considered fine art market is not so smooth for abstract paintings.

But, for him it was already a decision of its existence. However, until now he's not tempted by the hustle and bustle of the market for works of the realist, surrealist and expressionist, contemporary.
