Post Tradition: Revisiting and the Future of Balinese Painting

This exhibition presents a collection of artists' interpretations of traditional Balinese painting, showcasing how the art form has evolved over time. Bali is an important centre to the development of Indonesian art – artists there first merged Western modern art with traditional Balinese art in the 1930s, giving birth to Balinese art as we know it today. In this exhibition, talented artists from Bali, including Bagus Prabowo, Made Djirna, Nyoman Arisana, Kemalezedine, Sumadi Ketut, and others, have been invited to provide their unique perspectives on traditional Balinese painting. Through their artworks, the exhibition aims to shed light on the importance of shaping the future of this art form, emphasising its contemporary relevance and significance.
