Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa + (Emerging female Balinese contemporary pain … Emerging female Balinese contemporary painter Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa has seemingly materialised from anonymity and appeared on the Bali art scene. After five years living in West Java, studying fine art at the Institute of Technology Bandung, she returned in 2020 to live in Batubulan, Bali. However, media exposure in international magazines and exhibitions in Java and Singapore preceded her. In 2021, her presence had become more “localised” by exhibiting in Bali. Refreshing and powerful suggestive Luh’De’s pictures captivate and reveal a fascinating lens upon life.Vibrant, yet unusual mindscapes depict alternative realities: Luh’De expresses a Gen-Z experience of dwelling in both the digital and natural worlds. As the first generation having grown up with immediate Internet and mobile digital technology access, members of Gen-Z are dubbed “digital natives”. Luh’De’s sensitivity pieces together seemingly unrelated, contrasting imagery into balanced compositions introducing the audience to fresh narrative realms she refers to as “fragments of memories”.For most people, the concept of existing simultaneously in parallel universes may be too abstract to process. Not for Luh’De. Curiosity infused with ingenuity is harnessed into images of the past, present and future which are unique within the Indonesian contemporary art world. Light years beyond the conventional Balinese painter, Luh’De never references traditional icons, narratives and techniques. Instead, she boldly investigates her potential and intuitive trajectory.Merging Pop Art, abstract and semi-realism styles often with a minimalist sense of space, blank areas on the canvas create interludes that allow us to pause and think. The outcomes are contemplative and uber-chic. Luh’De is the first Balinese woman artist to establish an identity upon such a compelling aesthetic formula.“My creative process begins by sourcing images from the Internet, screenshots from the online simulation game The Sims and other images I have collected. I then photoshop combinations into compositions I call ‘happy incidents’,” said Luh’De, who was born in Bali in July 1997 and worked briefly as a graphic designer. “At university I found myself working best in oil paints. I like that it takes around 8 hours for the paint to dry giving me time to manipulate my compositions into shape. This process helps me understand more about what I’m going through. I’ll connect everything, asking myself why this is here? This is where my instincts draw connections and make assumptions. The results are impossible to preconceive and often without meaning or explanation.” One of the greatest challenges for Balinese artist’s is to grow and to introduce change. Some settle on a formula which sells and then remain in a comfort zone, yet creatively stagnant. Others lack courage to break free and experiment and over time new horizons become increasingly difficult to achieve. Luh’De is a driven artist, whose work has technically and thematically evolved. From 2016-2018 she worked developing ideas and arranging different components to uncover a functional formula. During 2019-2020 she explored ‘PARADISO: On Fragments of Times’, a series inspired by beach scenes and people at leisure. “I grew tired of painting figures and beach themes. There was nothing more to dig and it was time to move on,” she told me. In 2020 Luh’De was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder and temporarily stopped painting. “When I began painting again, my old subject matter – the Paradiso Series– no longer represented me. I developed a liking towards sweets to help stabilise my moods, and I spent more time playing Sims as a form of escapism. I created a new ‘ideal’ personal painting reality I called my Sweet and Sour Series,” said Luh’De who was nominated in 2021 as a Finalist UOB Indonesian Painting of the Year – Established Artist Category.Richard HorstmanNOW Balirtist Category.

The memories never left me in subsequent decades but I never thought I’d return in 2000 to spend the rest of my life here.Living in Ubud is much more multi-dimensional than visiting as a traveller. After ten years in sterile Singapore, I was unprepared for rodents in the roof and reptiles on the bedroom walls. I had to learn to navigate the ever-changing rules of Indonesia’s Byzantine immigration bureaucracy. The new language held many entertaining pitfalls. The Balinese people, especially the family that would become my own, were a window to the rich, deep, baffling culture that surrounds me.Shortly after moving here I offered to write a regular column for the only English language newspaper at the time, the Bali Advertiser. This opened many doors; it gave me an excuse to contact all the most interesting people on the island and ask impertinent questions about what they were doing in Bali. From over 18 years of bimonthly articles I’ve published two books."onthly articles I’ve published two books.")
Anthony Paul Gentile + (From https://www.gentilefineart.com/introd … From https://www.gentilefineart.com/introductionGentile’s prolific artistic practice enables him to create with a wide range of possibilities. His activity can be divided between an inner practice – evident in canvases and small-scaled sculptures – and a more public scope. This versatility allows his character to come out and enables his sense of freedom as an artist to emerge.The circumstance that the tropical island of Bali has become his most permanent residence for about 25 years resides in the double possibility it presents: this is one of the world’s most crossed-cultured places, extremely traditionalist in its singular Hindu rituals and constant colorful ceremonies, and simultaneously one of the world’s most cosmopolitan atmospheres, home to various western communities. This intellectual balance, conjoined with a major presence of craftsmanship, working in international standard quality, allowed him to stay and produce vast amount of, and large artworks.The Artist, Gentile perceives his working method as connected to those of musicians: after learning the basic notes – drawing, geometry and the knowledge provided by Art History – one can compose a ‘symphony’ – paintings, sculptures and, more recently, the possibilities enabled by Computer Aided Design (CAD), which he has been exploring since the late 1990s. A believer in classical and canonized education, Gentile keeps a graphic diary in the form of sketchbooks that became the foundation of his image bank. More recently, Gentile has augmented the paper diaries with an iPad. In addition to this gadget, he keeps a photographic and written record of people and situations he interacts with.The ‘organic’ ingredient of his artwork thus resides outside the working methodology, rather is borne from the manner he utilizes his personal archive, vast due to several anthropological and ethnographical explorations. This system is what Gentile offers to the viewer: on the one hand, he expresses a personal synthesis of art and life and on the other hand, he delivers a constant citation of legacy – that he applies with extreme ease – and provides new directions for its usage.Therefore, Gentile’s artistic practice is many times explained as an assemblage of elements embedded with references and material citations of local specificities pertaining to the locations he arrives to.pertaining to the locations he arrives to.)

Putu Sayoga + (From The Phala, https://www.thephala.com/t … From The Phala, https://www.thephala.com/the-artist-photographer-putu-sayoga/Only a handful of photographers in Indonesia are into documentary photography. Compared to hard news photography, documentary requires more length of time when it comes to the creative process. Therefore, it demands work consistency and usually more production cost.With all those challenges, Putu Sayoga, a Bali based photographer, is still in love with this unique style of photography. As a self-taught, he started his career from scratch in 2009, when he was a college student in Gadjah Mada University, Jogjakarta. During that initial period, documentary photography was already appealing for him. This form allows him to be acquainted with his photo subjects and has a longer interaction with them, so later he could present works that are narratively and visually more powerful.Documentary opens up a wider horizon for Sayoga to expand his ideas and aspirations. It gives more space for him to tell the thorough stories of his photo subjects. Most of his photographs give a voice to the unheard inspirational figures and stories that are not yet sufficiently covered by the media. His works not only thought-provoking but poetically captured the genuineness and complexity of human beings.One of his intriguing projects is “Library with the Horse,” (2015). It is a touching story about Ridwan Sururi, a horse caretaker who dedicates his time to create a small mobile library called “Kuda Pustaka” that is attached to his horse. Every week Sururi and his horse go around his village in Purbalingga, Central Java, giving free access for kids to read books. This documentary has been published in international media such as The New York Times and Aljazeera. Surprisingly, following the publication, many people around the world contacted Sayoga and donated books for Sururi’s library. It is definitely an example of how powerful storytelling can be!Currently Sayoga has two ongoing projects. The first one started in 2013, encompasses the change caused by modernization at his own village that is located in a rural area in Bali. The other one entitled, “Living under the Volcanoes,” begins in 2017. This long-term project tells stories about the life of societies who over generations settle near the volcanoes in Indonesia; how they are living with the danger and their culture.There are more than 150 volcanoes in this country. For his ambitious project, Sayoga has explored 6 of them including Mount Agung, Mount Ijen, Bromo, Dieng Plateau, Sinabung, and Gamalama. He went from Sumatera, Bali, Java, to Moluccas to search for and experience authentic stories. This project has been published in various media like ZEIT Magazine, Post Magazine, and GEO.ike ZEIT Magazine, Post Magazine, and GEO.)

A few years later between high school and college, Meg spent a summer as an Ashramer at the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, where she continued her study of Yoga, adding Ayurveda and healthy Veganism to the mix.

The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali. It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government. However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners. Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people. Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers. Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali. There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali. Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali? and care about the waste problem in Bali?)
