Sharing The Book by Vietnamese Artist Luong Dung
Luong Dung glorifies the beauty of everyday life. In the featured Asian artwork, he depicts a group of girls learning their lessons. All of them are shown in the traditional Vietnamese dresses called Ao dais, drawing the viewer’s attention with a reserved elegance of lines and hues. The piece bears Dung’s characteristic painting style using browns and off-whites and an occasional red, and simple sparse composition.

Article
Ida Bagus Putu Purwa’s (or shortly Purwa) concept of art works is his continuous search of freedom. His paintings speak about human bodies in a true search and longing for freedom, realizing that human existence or ones’ due rights was given to them since birth. Although the subjects in the paintings sometime take different shape or posture, they are in fact an expression of himself. For this reason they are not really different subjects, but merely bodies; embodiments of the same ultimate subject, the very artist himself. His works are expression of this quest to freedom and a reflection of movements and suffering of this urge to find his dream.
Wearing mask or painted face to hide his agony, these bodies move till the edge of the canvas (or paper) as if they are looking to break out of the frame, looking for freedom outside its confined edges. Jumping high or almost disappear to the side while running, trying to break out. Many times they dance with vigorous movements, inspired by the traditional Balinese dance, they pose anger, frustration but also happiness and acceptance. Graceful composition showing vulnerable strength and light-footed postures bear the weigh of his mental burden.
Sometime those bodies stand critically at the edge of an imaginary cliff with unknown depth, though at the same time they do not appear to be suicidal or wanting to leave this world and irresponsibly neglect his burden. They seem to realize that the burden of the limitation of ones body. A struggle for acceptance. Abounding with heightened emotions and rich cultural traditions, Purwa’s stylized figures draw upon the diversity and vibrancy of his background.

Motion in the Canvas, Reflection of the Dance
In Indonesia's current contemporary art boom, values have become relative and traditional art is considered outdated. Any classification of Indonesian art into discrete stages, even art deemed modern, has suddenly become obsolete; it is asserted that technology has now taken over (with art works using media such as digital prints, for example). New values have emerged – works processed using animation technology, called animamix, with a neo-pop art approach – and works praised by other art lovers in art events have become hot commodities in Indonesia's art world. This background makes the vaunted emergence of contemporary art inevitable.
Yet time-honored artistic values still earn fanatical appreciation from one museum in Bali – Museum Rudana. Putu Rudana (33), the museum's director, displays the works of a young Balinese painter, Ida Bagus Indra (35), throughout May 2008. He insists that art has its own destiny—it needs not slavishly follow trends—and that art connoisseurs still wait and appreciate works by our modern art maestros.
"For example, a dance painting is more than simply a representation of body movements; it shows us the meaning of humanity, and signals the existence of the religion and history of the place where it stamps its identity," enthuses the young director, a graduate of Webster University in St. Louis, USA.
Interviewed at a lovely venue in Bali, Putu fervently declared, "Bali is an island whose natives fully recognize that contemporary values derive from the past; respect for tradition and reinterpretation of themselves as modern humans are inseparable." This is why he has chosen to highlight the works of Ida Bagus Indra, an artist working in the modern style who displays a highly original Balinese identity.
You no doubt remember Nyoman Gunarsa, a Balinese maestro who loves portraying dancers. But what we see in Ida Bagus Indra's works is quite different; his dance paintings seem to move on the canvas like a film, particularly the works in rows of up to ten panels.
Do you remember the film by the two directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, Sin City (2005), which adapted the comic of the same name from the 1980s? The comic and the film comprise a single entity. If you're a fan of the director Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), you may notice that his works roll together graphic novels, comics, and films. These are intensely rich visual works, in which multiple artistic disciplines copulate, unite and do not annihilate one another. The same is true of Ida Bagus Indra's panel paintings.
These paintings of dancers, handled by Ida Bagus Indra as by a film director, freeze the dancer's movements: the suppleness of the body, the shimmering motion of the scarf, the dancer's gaze, and the movements that crystallize the body – all are recorded in the canvas.
Cinematic techniques are employed just as a director executes a film, scene by scene. Look particularly at Bali–Island of Paradise, with its brilliant yellow background. Here we see a close-up of a dancer's face from the side; then move, zoom out, and the dancer is portrayed again with the beauty of body movements that seems far removed from the audience enjoying her dance. It's as if camera, film, brush and canvas are all in a dialogue.
Ida Bagus Indra plays repeatedly with multiple panels, with entrancing results. Check out White Pendet-2, comprising 11 panels of 105x165 cm, or Sang Pembawa Cinta (The Bearer of Love), in seven panels. These two paintings are diametrically opposed in terms of color, though both seem to present an unbroken series of a dancer's movements. One is calm and composed, the other exuberant with a reddish-pink scarf.
The style chosen may well rely on skill with the palette knife, using expressive strokes. Ida Bagus Indra is indeed continuing the work of his predecessors, in an expressionist mode; what makes him so special is that he is still young and has chosen to use multiple panels with a cinematic technique. Let's just say he is quite an innovative painter. Equally important, Museum Rudana Bali, as his promoter, remains confident that modern paintings are still appreciated in this country.

Art as Perspective
““Art As Perspective” seeks to affirm art as a path to deeper understanding,” says CLC Education founder David Bertrand. “These paths help us to explore and move closer to the questions that have been posed with each passing generation: Who are we? What is this place? Where does it come from? What is our purpose as an individual and as a species?”
“Art is a critical part of human exploration as each individual has a perspective and is a facet, a reflection, a filter through which the whole of creation is interpreted. Through the artists exploration of their own perspective we gain greater understanding of our own and the world around us.”
With the goal to create greater opportunities for the community to engage in art through activities within their CLC learning program, and CLC exhibition program, “Art as Perspective” is their second exhibition during 2015. Bertrand has worked together with well known former gallery manager, art dealer and director of Zen Agung art consulting and framing and Zen Express art courier and cargo Nico F. Kuswanto to bring together the community in celebration of art. The CLC Education facility is a fine venue for community gatherings and the opening was well attended by the local art community and friends while being officially opened by a representative of the Governor of Bali Bapak Mangku Pastika.
One of Bali’s finest hyper realism painters Gusti Nengah Sura Ardana presents “Ironi Ditanah Emas” 2014, a large 3 panel work revealing environmental tragedy and loss of indigenous culture due gold mining in West Papua. Wayan Suja is also a talented technical painter, “Me and Snobbery Times” contrasts Balinese tradition against modernity, and is both a conceptually and aesthetically strong composition.

Art Expo Malaysia 2013
This year’s Art Expo Malaysia marked Artemis Art’s second participation in this prestigious event. Similar to previous Art Expos, this year’s event was held at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC) just off of Jalan Duta. The event took place from Thursday, September 19 to Sunday, September 22, 2013, with the VIP Night on Wednesday, September 18.
Having learned from our first outing this year, we chose a slightly different orientation for the booth, allowing more artworks to be displayed. This time around we included works from young Malaysian artists who have exhibited with us in the past year, namely Azimuddin Manaf, Cracko (Crig Royno Francis), Nik Mohd Hazri, and Skinner (T.W. Chang).
In addition to these, the artists whose works we exhibited were similar to last year, focusing on emerging Indonesian artists such as Aan Gunawan, Andi Firmanto, Dedy Sufriadi, and Riduan, plus the sculptures of Malaysian artist Zheng Yuande.
Another thing we did differently this year was to feature the works of mid-career Indonesian artist Erica Hestu Wahyuni, a name that is quite well-known to art collectors and has been a mainstay within the auction circuit in Indonesia for the past several years. Needless to say, all three of her works that were available for display were snapped up.
While the crowd this year seemed less in volume compared to 2012, we felt that the quality of the crowd was much better, as were the overall selection of works presented by the various galleries. In all, 60 galleries from over 20 countries participated in this year’s event, with over 2,000 pieces of art of various sizes and media on display.
Commercially, this year’s participation was certainly more successful for us as well, with a number of works sold during the four and a half-day event. Tired as the team was after, Artemis Art will most certainly be participating again next year, and we hope that you will be able to make it Art Expo Malaysia 2014 as well.
