Showing a cacophony of lines, figurative depictions, and graffiti-like writing in largely grey tone, "Dinding Kelabu" or "Grey Wall" is a silkscreen print by A.D. Pirous. A.D. Pirous (b. 1931, Meulaboh, Indonesia) is an Indonesian painter and printmaker whose works contribute significantly in the development of modernist and calligraphic abstraction in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. He is known for his calligraphy that largely draws from Qur'anic verses, Islamic manuscripts, and tombstones. His artistic practice and ideas of modern and Islamic art contribute significantly to the shaping of its canon and art historical narrative. This print shows Pirous's early experiment with silkscreen printing after his return to Bandung from his study in Rochester, New York, in 1971.
