About
Suliswanto Urubingwaru, commonly known as Urubingwaru, is an artist, researcher, and writer. He is the co-founder of Titik Kumpul Forum, an art collective based in Yogyakarta. In his work, Urubingwaru often intersects visual art and literature as a means of exploring narratology. He uses fiction and interpretation to address themes of history, myth, and identity across various mediums, including drawing, painting, installation, and interactive installations.

He is currently completing his studies in Fine Arts, ISI Yogyakarta, but has participated in numerous group exhibitions, most recent ones including Pulse at Haridas Contemporary, Singapore (2024); Fugitive Shadows at Ace House Collective, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2024); Lost in Whimsy Wisdom: Interplay of Realities, ISA Art Gallery x Omah Budoyo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (2024); and Like a Crowd of Extras at Seven Sisters Gallery, Houston, USA (2024).
