Henri Affandi (b. 1998, Indonesia) is a conceptual artist based between Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia. Affandi’s practice and research explore themes such as anti-imperialism, post-colonial identity, migration, and indigenous liberation. Weaving symbols and metaphors into the material, Affandi creates layers of contextual socio-political commentaries rooted in history and ethnography that the viewers may observe, uncover, and decipher.

Affandi seeks to reclaim the art space as an act of decolonisation and resistance against oppression, utilising contemporary tools of art-making such as performance and installations.

Employing a language that is both poetic and provocative, Affandi’s art encapsulates their long-standing commitment to amplify the voices of marginalised communities, reminding the viewers of their perseverance and defiance both in the past and present.

Affandi earned First Class Honours in BA(Hon) Fine Art: Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2021. Their works have been featured internationally, including solo exhibitions at The Art House London (2023) and Huxley-Parlour Gallery (2022); group exhibitions and performances at ArtMoments Jakarta (2025), Christie’s London (2023), Indonesian Contemporary Art Design (2022) and Museum de Lakenhal (2019), to name a few. Affandi was also selected as a finalist for the Ingram Prize (2024), winner of Fourbythree Award (2022), and longlisted for the 7th Bandung Contemporary Arts Awards (2022).
