Catalogue Note

“Widayat’s works elicit a feeling of purity and silence. They draw the viewer gently into introspection. It seems that Widayat has the desire to correct the present and return us to the primordial past, to a more transcendental time.” 

Agus Dermawan T., The Expression Paintings of Widayat, AIA Fine Art Foundation Jakarta, Indonesia, 1994, p. 2
