Hendra Gunawan was an Indonesian artist, poet, sculptor who was born in Bandung, the capital of West Java, in 1918. Hendra Gunawan is said to be one of the most renowned painters in Indonesian history and respected for his role in actively stimulating the development of modern art at the beginning of Indonesia’s Independence years. His paintings depict daily lives of people from different levels of society. Like his art work, he had a colorful life which can be classified into three distinct periods. Hendra Gunawan has been accredited as one of the artists who recorded Indonesia’s historical events, through his paintings.
Raffles Jakarta was founded by Dr. (HC). Ir. Ciputra who is an avid collector of Hendra Gunawan paintings. He made a promise to the late Hendra Gunawan that he would one day open a museum in his honour. True to his word, in March 2015 Raffles Jakarta opened, where the legacy of Hendra Gunawan comes to life though Hendra’s masterpieces that enhance the magnificent interiors. Attached to the Raffles Hotel is the Ciputra Artpreneur, which includes The Hendra Gunawan Museum, a gallery, and a 1,200 seat Broadway Musical Theatre.
