Balinese Maestro to exhibit his works

DENPASAR (indo.com): Gaya Gallery will present "Drawing Installation", a one-man show by a universal Balinese artist, Made Wianta. The exhibition will be opened at the Gaya Fusion of Senses, on Jl. Raya Sayan, Ubud, Bali on July 23, 2004, at 7 p.m. The exhibition run through August 15, 2004.

Made Wianta's creation flows from the depth of his psyche. Over two decades, some 14,000 works of art have emerged from his energy and creativity. Those art works are widely known and have been exhibited at prestigious galleries and museums at home and abrad. Wianta is a multi-modal artist. His mastery of color and form on canvas is matched by his mastery of words in poetry; body movement in dance and sense of rhythm in music.

Wianta's drawings clearly reflect a search of form or shape representation, whether it comes from something basic or original in the visual world, as a modern artist with a very intense adventure presents.

This is probably the unreal imagination on the real world 'shape' or something seen around us. It can be living beings, objects, things, as well as unreal visual items. He also observes the unseen form adventures, or the unreal or spiritual in his drawings.

Wianta's drawings are also heavily marked by his process of reduction and deduction whilst at the same time derive from an emotive force and feeling. There is a lengthening of distance from outside phenomena, in the world other than that inhabited by the artist, and Wianta's drawings are as attainable as catching a fish alive in the artistic creative pond.
