Agus Suwage (born in Purworejo, 1959) is an artist who completed his Graphic Design education at Faculty of Fine Arts and Design ITB, Bandung in 1986. At the start of his career, Suwage explored topics of social commentary. He also often explores media such as the use of asphalt and soil in his works. Meanwhile, Suwage's painting works are also mostly expressed on paper rather than canvas, which often depicts his self-portrait as the subject of the painting. Suwage's self-portrait works are not only an independent subject, but also exists side by side with other elements. Thus, Suwage's works can be seen as a combination of self-reflection and contradiction about the "self" itself. These self-portraits also place Suwage in two positions at once, namely as subject and object, expressing his attitude towards himself and illustrating that "self" will always change in the midst of the ever-changing social life.

Suwage has received awards from Phillip Morris Indonesia Art Award and Phillip Morris ASEAN Art Award. His first solo exhibition was held at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta in 1995, while his first overseas solo exhibition was held at H Block Gallery QUT, in Brisbane, Australia.
