Ipeh Nur

Ipeh Nur works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, screen-printing, etching and sculpture. Rooted in traditional Indonesian knowledge systems, Nur’s work investigates the effects of globalisation on historical memory, cultural practices and local narratives. Drawing inspiration from her personal experience of contemporary life, Nur crafts visually rich compositions that feature multiple viewpoints and narratives within a single image. In this way, Nur portrays the complex dynamics at play in our interconnected world.
