Bali in Bali

17th March – 30th April 2005


Bali in Bali is a two-part exhibition featuring two generations of Balinese artists. Curated by Joanna Lee for Sunjin Galleries, the exhibition explores contemporary Balinese art as inspired expressions of life, mythology and the magic world. The exhibition also provides glimpses into stylistic trends in present-day Balinese art through its two-part feature of artists from the post-war generation, and young emerging painters. Bawdy humour mingle with the sublime, the mundane with mysticism, candor with self-exoticism, Balinese self-imaging in art is as much a reflection of its cultural tradition as it is the impact of modernity and tourism.

Part I: Post-War Signposts (17 March – 3 April 2005) features paintings and sculptures by 5 artists: Ketut Budiana, Wayan Bendi, Ketut Kasta, Made Rema, and Ketut Geledih. Well into their 50s and 60s, the artists are established in their careers. The artists herald from the bedrock of modern Balinese art – Ubud and its surrounding villages – and carry the stylistic lineage of pre-war Balinese art that emerged in the 1930s.

Part 11: Emerging Contemporaries (14 April – 30 April 2005) showcases emerging artists Ida Bagus Indra, Ketut Teja Astawa and Made Supena. Working in figurative and abstract paintings, they have each developed individualistic styles that range from naοve to highly expressive and dramatic treatments.

Joanna Lee is an independent curator. She was the curator of the Indonesian art collection at the Singapore Art Museum, and has curated and written extensively on Indonesian and Southeast Asian art.
