Twenty-two years ago in 2003, renowned free-spirited artist and designer Sin Sin Man founded Sin Sin Fine Art, inspired by a transformative encounter with contemporary Indonesian art during one of her many travels. While exploring the historic city of Yogyakarta, she connected with a group of emerging
Indonesian artists whose raw talent, authenticity, and unfiltered expressions left a profound impression on her. Struck by the emotional depth and sincerity of their work — as well as their genuine, down-to-earth personalities — Sin Sin felt an immediate and deep resonance. This pivotal experience ignited a
new artistic mission: to bring these bold, expressive works to Hong Kong and introduce them to the international art world. Many of these artists have grown and achieved international recognitions and accalodes since then. Looking back, it was such a precious, life-changing period for Sin Sin and for the artists themselves.

The artworks featured in this exhibition serve as Life Records — visual diaries that trace each artist’s personal and creative evolution. Every piece carries the unique imprint of its maker, capturing key moments in their artistic journey and reflecting the growth that has shaped who they are today.

Life Records I presents a compelling selection of early works by Abdi Setiawan, Bob Yudhita Agung, Dwi Setianto, EddiE haRA, Eddi Prabandono, FauZie As’ad, Kokok P. Sancoko, S. Teddy Darmawan, Pande Ketut Taman, Putu Sutawijaya, and Tisna Sanjaya — each offering a glimpse into the formative stages of these now-established Indonesian artists. These works are shown alongside pieces by Sin Sin Man herself, who feels deeply honoured and proud to share her gallery space with artists who have not only inspired her, but who also remain close to her heart.
