Adam de Boer is a prize-winning painter who has exhibited nationally as well as in the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Colombia. He explores his Dutch-Indonesian heritage through his work and addresses broader themes of cultural hybridity, race, gender and sexuality. De Boer’s art encourages sustained engagement with cultural differences in order to address the racist and xenophobic response to colonization. The mix of conflicting aesthetics, made with both modern and traditional techniques, encapsulates these themes.
