Adi Gunawan (b. 1974, Indonesia) invokes euphoria and the significance of animals through his symbolic sculptures. He grew up in an agrarian society and draws on his cultural background and experiences to visualise the motions, gestures, characters and expressions of his various subjects. He then constructs forms, figures and compositions replete with meaning, highlighting a mystical relationship between animals and humans.

Adi trained at the Institut Seni Indonesia, Yogyakarta. He represented Indonesia at the Beijing Olympics 2008 Fine Arts Exhibition, where he was bestowed the honour of an Olympic Torch Award. His sculptures have toured Hong Kong, the United States, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland and many other countries.
