Siklus

Gaya Fusion Art Space, Bali

curated by Putu Wirata Dwikora

After their appearance together in the editorial of ‘’Nyawa Senyawa’’ in 2007, now these four young painters ~ Dewa Gde Agung, Rio Saren, I Wayan Januariawan also knows as Donald and Putu Edy Asmara Putra – are present at a joint exhibition in the editorial named ‘’Siklus’’.

Presumably the process, when appeared in ‘’Nyawa Senyawa’’ was the periods of brahmacari, the era of mischievous and rebellious that was spontaneous and unpredictable direction. Now, the presentation in ‘’Siklus’’ is supposedly the stage approaching grahasta, that is the period where they prepared themselves for creative marriage, married to the realistic circumstances of life around art. The traces of his mischievous adolescence and brahmacari still can be felt and perhaps artistic creativity always in the need of rebellious spirit, although they were at the edge entering the era of grahasta creatively and presenting a kind of self-portrait about their respective creative exploration, with style as well as their individual idealism.

Wayan ‘’Donald’’ Januariawan. He proclaimed that ‘’his work is not a product’’. He tried to rise the ‘’inner history’’ from the object that he found - rusty tattered zinc, used cloths, used plastics, old rubber sheet, and its kind and stimulate its ‘’inner beauty’’ to emerge to the surface. Avoiding the treatment and pampering of his works, he did not complete them with common art work’s feature.

The other young figure was Putu Edy Asmara Putra. Edy experienced an astounding leap and broadened his object’s exploration. He got into imaginative as well as fantasy objects and he also worked on the real world objects. Precision of technique brings his objects as though they are hyperrealist objects. The existence of fantasy and imaginative objects on his creation, exhibits the beauty and mystery all at once.

Rio Saren, who can be said aggressive enough in his media's exploration and theme of his works. However, he did not release the local culture identity, as he showed clear visualization of Balinese icons, mythology that lives in Balinese culture, which mostly formed by the spirits of Hindu religion.

The fourth one is Dewa Agung. He fiddles with plank, timber, painting in canvas, some of them was transformed into three-dimensional objects. Dewa Agung has used found wood that he left it to its original shape in such a way, made responses with sculpture and carving here and there, then with installation technique he turned that timber into a “new object”.

“Siklus’’ was a stage of creative journey to these four young painters. What they have achieved up to this point was the spirit to continue to explore the media, the technique and theme that possibly it was already considered as “former mines” from previous ‘’creative digger’’. Nevertheless, who knew, in the former copper mine, suddenly we find gold?
