Ipeh Nur

Ipeh Nur (b. 1993, Yogyakarta) is an artist who lives and works in Yogyakarta. Her works based on personal experiences, daily problems, memories, resilience, and histories as background events, are mostly conveyed through drawing and painting. She also uses other mediums and techniques, such as batik, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, and murals, where mediums are not merely symbols or metaphors, but connect personally. Since 2019, her work is connected to her maritime culture, looking at how knowledge has been passed down by older generations and confronting it with today’s issues. Her stories are often based on her open interpretation of ancient mythology. Nur graduated from the Department of Printmaking, Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta. Her solo exhibitions have been held at venues including Soboman 219 Art Space, Yogyakarta in 2022 and Kedai Kebun Forum, Yogyakarta in 2019. Her work appears in recent group exhibitions at venues including ArtSpace House, Gwangju, 2025; ArtJakarta, JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, 2025; Ace House, Yogyakarta, 2025; Sharjah Art Biennial 16, 2025; Zone2Source, Amsterdam, 2025; PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv, 2024; and SculptureCenter, New York, 2024.
