Style
Asmoredjo works with oil or acrylic on canvas; he also occasionally produces ceramics. An important theme in his work is depictions of marginalized women, often with bare breasts and engaged in traditional dances. He tends to use bright, bold sunny colors and capture elements of nature in his works, and is said to paint in a "stylistic semi-figurative" way.
