AGUS DARMIKA ‘SOLAR’ (BALI, 1991)

Solar, as he is widely known by, centered his art to examine, reconstruct, and arrange the imbalances in our social landscapes. He interweaves his traditional background with his direct exposures to variety of cultures as components in his works to evaluate our adaptations toward changes in our environments.

Conveying his thoughts through paintings and objects, Solar’s works are metaphors for contructed culture(s). His works are a composition of personal experience and attunement of traditional values and norms.

Visuals of colours, lines, forms, and compositions express an imagined panoramic view of a landscape with various stimulating attributes that are contrived intuitively through his dialogues with his fragments of experiences, traditions, possibilities, and mediums.

AGUS SAPUTRA (BALI, 1992)

Agus Saputra has placed a great interest in exploring his visual language using Balinese artistic idioms, particularly that of Batuan painting style; embarking on new artistic interpretations of the Batuan style and fusing it Western approach in his painting process and visuals.

His paintings are depicted with realist strokes in the Batuan compositions, such as: overall density and memedeg – a bottom upward perspective without instilling linear stance, where size is not used to create the illusion of depth/distance but rather the placement of the objects becomes the determinator (the further from the bottom part of the canvas, the greater the depth/the farther the distance).

The paintings arised from questions that connect the present and the past related to social events/histories and those affecting the development of art, while also looking into the future. Thus, Agus’ paintings are somewhat can be cited as bringing into play the past to move forward in the present where at the same time creating possibilites for the future.

AGUS MEDIANA ‘CUPRUK’ (BALI, 1988)

The artistic exploration from Agus Mediana ‘Cupruk’ shifted from realist to abstract mannerism. This mode is driven by, as individual and in his studio practice, his intensity in acquiring the understanding of his surroundings; defining the essence of things in the everyday.

Utilising abstract as his visual language to convey his thoughts, Cupruk’s works derive from his observations of things; questioning and comprehending the meaning of objects, processions or behaviours and its relations to one another that privot around our traditions – in his case, attaching to Balinese tradition.

Cupruk’s works compels us to peal the layers of macrocosm-microcosm of the time and space we are in – the traditions we found our selves in – to generate our own senses of his works and their links to the stories, the chronicles of our own.

KUNCIR SATHYA VIKU (BALI, 1990)

Infusing his training as a rerajahan (visual mantra) illustrator for his father – a balian (Balinese shaman) – with his artistic experiences working with murals in the streets, Kuncir explores lines and forms that are rooted in Balinese visual language.

Bringing into play his satirical wit, Kuncir composes global-local (glocal) disruptions where forms are enchanted between tradition-modernity. He transmits hybrid shamanistic visuals – merging comic impression with rerajahan traits and a touch of pop surrealism.

Formulating his works in drawings, paintings and installations, Kuncir narrates forward-looking and evaluations on Balinese surrealism and glocal social issues; often where clashes between modernity-tradition, conservative-liberal, spirituality-profanity, norms-exceptions and so forth take place.
