About the artist

Mujahidin Nurrahman finished his study in Printmaking Studio, Faculty of Fine Art and Design of Bandung Institute of Technology in 2007. Since 2003, he has actively participated in exhibitions in the Bandung art scene. The themes of his artworks have undergone several transformations, first exploring dreams, then politics and spirituality (death), and currently religion and violence. Since 2010, Mujahidin has focused on issues that develop surrounding religion, in particular the world’s perception of Islam. He uses paper as his main media, and the arabesque gimmick as his trademark for visual provocation. He works with a broad range of media to execute his ideas, among others these include hand-cut paper with high craftsmanship, painting, video, photography and combinations of various objects. Recently he has been exploring installation art while still utilising hand-cut paper as the main media.
