Biography:
Budi Ubrux (ID) rose to fame when he created his iconic visual with newspaper headlines. The entirety of his images on canvas express poignant thoughts. Utterly creepy & profoundly unsettling, the haunting images are reminiscent of mummies, initially showing repression and corruption, and later news media that tend to increasingly overwhelm and manipulate real facts, ultimately causing the human intellect to malfunction.
