Bayu Asmoro
Bayu Asmoro (b. 1992) is an artist from Mojokerto, East Java. He studied Fine Arts at ISI Yogyakarta, graduating in 2018, and later returned to his hometown, facing limited artistic opportunities compared to Yogyakarta’s vibrant art scene. Using these challenges as inspiration, Bayu explored found objects, drawing meaning from their stories and breathing life into inanimate things. Influenced by Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotics (icon, symbol, index), Bayu developed his Meaning Series in 2020, combining theory, observation, and creativity. Active in exhibitions since 2013, he held his first solo show at LAV Gallery Yogyakarta in 2023. For Bayu, art is a way to navigate life’s dynamic and ambiguous nature, constantly evolving his visual language through imagination and observation.
