NURIMAN PUTRA
Throughout his life, Nuriman has always been fascinated by images and how the world is represented through the eyes of others. In his quest for simplicity, Nuriman engage in projects that explore everydayness, the unfamiliar and uncharted spaces. Often inspired by paintings, drawings and conceptual movements in art, Nuriman tries to carry the feeling of "mono no aware" in his projects. The basis of his work involve recontextualizing found objects into sculptures, experimenting intuitively with selection, placement and composition. This artistic approach nudges his audience to reassess everything they see, appreciating the impermanence and the pathos of things with which we experience and share in our world.
Nuriman earned his Diploma in Fine Art from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2021. He is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s of Fine Art at the Nanyang Academy Fine Arts, University of the Arts London. In 2024, Nuriman exhibited his work at the Photographic Society of Singapore, Menagerie 2024, as part of Unit 4 Showcase. In 2025, his collaborative work was selected for NAFA Open House 2025. He has also showcased at the SeniKita Exhibition by Kamal Arts Gallery, 2023. During his second year of diploma studies in 2019, Nuriman participated in a collaboration between NAFA and Singapore General Hospital titled ‘From Fears to Dreams’.
