Rizky Alison

Rizky Alison (b. 1995, Surabaya) whose practice has evolved steadily since beginning his professional career in 2013. His journey within the exhibition circuit gained momentum following his participation in the Final Project Exhibition at SMSR Surabaya, held at Jatim Expo in 2015. Since then, Alison has remained actively engaged in Indonesia’s contemporary art scene, presenting his works in numerous exhibitions across various cities throughout the country, as well as internationally in the United States and the Netherlands. Among his notable exhibitions are Art Resilient and Tough at Hotel Grand Mercure (2022), alongside appearances at 2Madison Gallery and Impression Exhibition during Art Jakarta (2025). These exhibitions have further established his presence within the contemporary art landscape and expanded the reach of his distinctive visual language.

Rooted in the aesthetics of pop surrealism, Alison’s practice examines contemporary social and political realities through a rich vocabulary of symbols, allegories, and satirical undertones. His works are characterized by vibrant palettes and playful visual compositions that invite viewers into seemingly whimsical worlds, while simultaneously offering critical reflections on the complexities, contradictions, and absurdities of everyday life.
