Abstract became the visual language that Made Mahendra Mangku chose to express. Various abstract explorations are presented, such as the play of lines, colors, and splashes.
As an artist who grew up in Sanggar Dewata Indonesia (SDI), his work tends to be different from those of the Eleven Group; a group of eleven members from SDI's 90s generation. He doesn't fill his canvases with brushstrokes of paint, nor does the boisterous Balinese icons and symbols appear absent in Mangku's work.
In his paintings, Mangku tends to use one color as a base and then fill it with several colors and lines. Sometimes he also crashes contrasting colors with certain compositions that are still calming.
It presents a silence that feels sentimental, like spaces of contemplation in the midst of worldly life. No matter how dark the colors he uses, Mangku's works are still sweet, calming and meditative, and he is often referred to as the “Poetic Painter”.
Although now known for his abstract works, Mangku had time to explore in a realist and figurative style while still in college. Even in his first year at ISI, he has won two awards at once for best sketch and best watercolor painting.
Meanwhile, while attending SMSR Denpasar, he was more focused on watercolor with the splash technique which earned him the nickname Mangku (a priest in Balinese tradition who sprinkles holy water when giving blessings, ed.). His choice to pursue abstract began in 1993, because abstracts provide more space for improvisation and exploration.
Since graduating from ISI Yogyakarta, Mangku has returned to Sukawati and is actively working in his personal studio, De'carik Art Studio. He recently exhibited 15 paintings and watercolors at the Singapore International Artist Fair (SIAF) 2018 on 10-13 May in Suntec City, Singapore.
