Anurendra Jegadeva known by many as Anu is one of the most established Malaysian contemporary artists in recent times. He holds a Foundation in Art and Design at the Oxford Polytechnic from the United Kingdom before completing his LLB (Hons) at the London University in 1993. He then continued his Master in Fine Arts at the Monash University in Australia in 2002.

Anu’s work is known to depict a lot of traditional and cultural elements from his background and experience. Anu was based in Melbourne for 7 years where he was pursuing his postgraduate course while being actively involved with the university gallery. Anu was previously writing on art with The Star for 20 years and despite holding a degree in law is now a full time artist, a passion he has had since young. Hence, once can always sense his narrative-ness in his work which he drew from his years in journalism.
