During the covid19 period the 'Livingin-gallery' was set up.
(Ubud, Bali – November 2021) Komaneka Fine Art Gallery is excited to invite their roster of Bali-based artists to “check-in” and work inside at the Gallery space in the ‘Living in Gallery’ program. Komaneka Fine Art Gallery was founded by Koman Suteja in 1998 and its mission is to showcase the richness of Indonesian art with a focus on emerging and established Balinese painters.
Koman Suteja and his wife Mansri Trisniawati started this ‘Living in Gallery’ after the Covid-19 lockdown that restricted the gallery from opening to the public. It affected the artists as well because it halted their exhibition plans. Because the Gallery had to close, Koman says it “brought back memories to the original ideas of the space in the gallery and why it was created. Why don’t we invite the artists to use the Gallery?”
‘Living in Galery’ program invites artists to ‘reside’ and create in the Gallery’s second floor, which is 200m2 wide. The artist is allowed a total of 24 hours to work, which can be split into different days. Because each artist has different styles and processes, they are able to customize the space to look like their studio, play the music they want and have the gallery open or closed to the public.
Each artist was briefed beforehand so they came to the Gallery with a set of ideas specifically, which excited the artists because the lockdown halted a lot of their projects and exhibitions. The artists responded well to the initiative as it gave them a good challenge that pushed them to do something different during this pandemic.
After the artist’s ‘residency’ at the Gallery, the paintings are displayed in the gallery space. Once a month Koman’s wife Mansri arranges ‘The Artist Lunch’ which allows art lovers, connoisseurs and collectors to come together to the Gallery, admire the art, talk to the artist personally and have lunch together at Komaneka Rasa Sayang.
Each ‘Living in Gallery’ session will utilize the technology and showcase the gallery digitally. The Gallery website will be updated with new paintings every month and the process will be recorded live on social media.
The purpose of this program is close to Koman’s heart. “I was born in a family who are very close to art and the center of the Indonesian art movement. It started from my grandparents, I Wayan Neka, who was a sculptor and my father, Wayan Suteja Neka, who was the patron of modern art in Indonesia.
My father invited a lot of Indonesian master artists to live in Ubud, rent them a house and work closely together with my father Wayan Suteja Neka. I met all of the master Indonesian artists which is a special opportunity. With this program, I want to share the experience of working closely with artists of my generation.”

Legian Village currently cover the same (geographical) area, consisting of 3 banjars. In the traditional village “wewengkon”, the three banjars are the SukaDuka Banjar Legian Kaja, Legian Tengah (Pekandelan) and Legian Kelod.
Bordered by the Seminyak Village area in the north and Kuta Village in the south, this area is adjacent to the river (Tukad Mati) and rice fields. Legian Village is known as a tourism area which is equipped with many tourism facilities including entertainment centers. In addition, Legian Village also has a very beautiful beach which is the main tourist destination for tourists.
Based on history, Legian village began with the discovery of a Otaheite gooseberry that tastes sweet. This is unusual because Otaheite gooseberry generally have a sour taste. Since then, the village area is called Karang Kemanisan.
The name Karang Kemanisan is known from the utterances of the "sadeg patih" (humans who are used as mediators for Ida Bhatara) who are trance when religious ceremonies are carried out at the Legian Village temple. They often say "Damuh Karang Kemanisan".
The name Karang Kemanisan also contains the philosophy of future generations who occupy the place to always maintain harmony in attitude and behavior and maintain the beauty of nature and its environment. So that they can be blessed with prosperity and well-being. Over time the name Karang Kemanisan was changed to Legian. The word legian comes from the root word "legi" which also means sweet. In the Old Javanese language, legi also means sweet.
The Taksu Murti Kemanisan Art Studio in Legian then performed artistic performances including the composition of the Legian Manis Bebarongan Tabuh, the Rerejangan Upasaksi Dance, the Tri Taksu Creation Dance and the Telek Dance according to the characteristics of the Legian Traditional Village. This dance was even performed at the 41st Bali Arts Festival (PKB).
Now Legian Village continues to improve. Apart from being a fisherman, most Legian residents make a living from the tourism sector. Like working in a hotel or opening an art shop. The area around Legian is also well organized so that it makes tourists who want to visit comfortable.
Desa Les is a seaside village of 8,000 on the northeast coast of Bali. A Bali Moela village, it differs from its neighbors in that there is no caste and ceremonies, while still Hindu, are much simpler than in other parts of Bali.
Les is an agricultural village where mangoes, coconuts, and rambutan flourish, and the sea of course provides a bounty of fish and salt. The Yeh Mampeh waterfall provides the precious water needed by people in Les, but it is not enough to cover daily needs and irrigation.
Due to its location being north of the mountains ergo little rainfall comes
here, the soil can be quite dry. Many of the men (pre pandemic) went down south to work in the construction industry, and several of the young people went to work on cruiseships.
The majority of the people here live day to day, in simple houses with not too many amenities. The education level reached by many is only at the Junior High (SMP) level.
In spite of all this, it is a wonderful place to visit. There is a boardwalk by the sea where one can walk past the working salt farms and see the colorful boats of the fishermen and the underwater life is still stunning. +
Located on Ubud’s bustling Main Road (Jalan Raya), between Ubud Palace and Museum Puri Lukisan, Cafe Lotus has been an institution ever since it opened its doors in 1983. The atmosphere of the town may have undergone changes but the tradition of Balinese hospitality has been maintained.
Over the past 37 years the restaurant has been welcoming guests from all over the world; some have been visiting us on a regular basis, even several times during their stays. It is a custom we appreciate and it represents a continuous challenge for us..
The setting of Cafe Lotus is unique – even by Balinese standards: a large Lotus pond framed by ancient lowering kamboja (magnolia) trees and, our most recent addition, an exhibit of several dozens of blooming orchid plants. One of Ubud’s main temple complexes, Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, completes the scenery; the ambience is simply magical – especially during twilight hours and in the evenings.
Cafe Lotus has become on of Ubud’s landmarks, an oasis in a busy environment and even more so a centre of Balinese of culture. The restaurant comes highly recommended by guidebooks worldwide and it deserves to be included on your next visit to Bali. Contrary information in some guide books we are a full-service restaurant and not just a nice place “pour rendre un verre” (to have a drink); while we certainly welcome all, preferential seating is reserved for dinner guests after 6.30pm.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at Cafe Lotus when your travels bring you to Ubud. +
