Abstract :
This article investigates Permadi Lyosta's
works from an aesthetic point of view by applying
qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis. The
technique used is to document Permadi Lyosta's works in
in-depth interviews with resource persons who are
considered competent and credible. Next, analyse and
evaluate the data, classify and reduce the data, and then
write the research results. The results that can be put
forward are that the ideology believed to be for the benefit
of the public is not just a sign or standard of norms to be
guided. But it seems that Permadi has been ingrained in
his flesh, painting as if it was just a vehicle or a way to
apply this ideology. Painting or being a painter is not the
only goal but a bridge to achieve what he is being fought
for. Therefore, Permadi's paintings do not tend to be in an
abstract/imaginative style but depict the real life of the
people he has travelled with. Because of that,
understanding Permadi's aesthetics is not enough if seen
from his paintings but also by tracing his life's bitter and
sweet lives. Permadi offers an aesthetic that is not only
socialist and revolutionary but also humanistic
