Biography

Vendy Methodos is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, murals, printmaking, and sculpture, each serving as a conduit for his reflections on societal and artistic marginalization. Rooted in social commentary and contemporary Javanese culture, his work delves into themes of class, politics, and ethics. Vendy Methodos began his art career in the mid-2000s, initially gaining recognition in the street art community. Adopting the name “Methodos,” he made his mark in public spaces, transforming them into arenas for visual provocation and discourse that reflect both local culture and global issues. Methodos’s ability to merge the grassroots nature of street art with the philosophical and political inquiries of contemporary fine art demonstrates his adaptability and critical perspective. Methodos’s public artworks are not merely decorative; they are acts of activism addressing modern societal issues such as class disparity, ethical corruption, and political power dynamics. His paintings and sculptures challenge accepted notions of these issues with irony and satire—a significant and unique characteristic of his creative practice. Vendy Methodos is also one of the founders of an art collective called Gegerboyo. Gegerboyo was founded in 2017 and Vendy Methodos was an active member of Gegerboyo from 2017 to 2023. Vendy Methodos’ artworks included in Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Doha Qatar, Collectionair, London, Gilman Barracks, Singapore, and Ruci Art Space, Jakarta.
