Art-appreciation: one sign that you’ve become a grown-up?

I’ve ever heard that, one of the signs that you’ve become a grown-up or grown mentally is: you become more interested with the artwork. Didn't know before I would eventually come at the phase where I am deeply into contemplating piece of art. How ‘bout you? Have you come at this phase?

Visiting museum and seeing photographs or paintings hanging on the wall, or any other forms of art placing on its display or show window are some of my favourite activity. Like any other people, I like taking pictures in front of it and just see it pass by. What has changed is that if I was before more like taking pictures of myself with the artwork, now I like taking picture of the art without me on the frame.

There is no other reason, beside, I have been busy and drowned to think about what it really means. I really want to know the story or the meaning behind the piece of art. I would ask to the people nearby, "what is this about?" or simply google it to gain more information to understand it.

There should be a wondrous inspiration or interesting story behind the creation of an art. And it hasn't always been something big. Since what is simple and ordinary also the thing that could open our eyes which is failed to notice. Every time I know the meaning of an art, I would like to say to the artist, “You really nailed it when delivering it to us!”. Like the art of Nyoman Nuarta named 'Orange' which’s portrayed his love towards his wife. He captured the form of love from the habitual activity of his wife when peeling an orange that somehow reminds me of my own mother. We really owe such generous love, don't we?

 An art has the power to make the unseen things become seen. Like this Orange sculpture that has explained the implicit love of a wife and a mother.

When you’re already a grown-up, you would start not seeing only from what the eyes could see. You become interested with the process because you know there is something hidden that influences the results. An art is a form that has been resulted by knowledge, thoughts, and feelings that has been rooted from human's experience. As self-expressions is one thing matter for an artist, you may sense the thoughts, knowledge, and feeling from the artist from their work. Art is abstract, you may freely interpret it and relate it to the your personal experience.

In summary, an art could tell something that is very personal to be accepted universally, or vice versa.

Like the work of Rita Widagdo, her astonishment to the various forms of plant found in Indonesia that is different from where she lived in Europe has given bunch of inspiration for her to make an art in dynamic form like plant in Indonesia. Indonesia which has tropical season has been blessed with the rain forest. There are various plants that could live here, one of them is a climb tree called ‘Liana’ which is the source of inspiration of Rita Widagdo. She ever captivated by its beauty, and with the art, she’s captured the phenomenon beautifully to allow us to enjoy it with her altogether.

Some of the work of Rita Widagdo inspired by the dynamic form of 'Liana': the wooden plant that can climb!

Art also could tell the spiritual journey of human being. From the eyes could see, the artwork by Sutjipto Adi looked like the paint of colour coordinated line. Meanwhile on the catalog book, it was written that his works could talk about spirituality, space, and boundaries. With a question mark on head, I was honoured to have a slightly talk to discuss with him about his artwork during one of the exhibition.

Had drowned on my own mind to think, where is supposed the spiritual aspect found?

He said that spirituality has been within every individuality that it relates to feelings. Like how he is dragged by his feelings when painting. This had surprised me, as I thought that should be started with a quick sketch to result such good composition and colour coordinated picture. And he also added, "there is vertical and horizontal line portraying how we should maintain the good relationship with the God and human being. And the wave lines on the picture could be interpreted that, as we live, there would be coming many tests in our life.”

Didn’t know before I would come at the phase where discussing about piece of art could be this interesting. The piece of art we see indeed has a long story behind its creation. It's like seeing only a ship from the surface of deep blue ocean, but if you dive into it you would know there is so much that can be seen. Journey whether to the museum or art-exhibition now is more pleasant and more memorable. Beside I get the photographs, I could get an endless inspiration to write on some more paragraphs.

This post was originally written almost one year ago when I had visited NuArt Sculpture Park and Selasar Sunaryo Art space in Bandung. But I could only finish it just now, with adding some insight I’ve found when visiting Art: 1 New Museum. I would be exciting to see more art work!

It represents Vishnu, one of the main deities of Hinduism, riding on the back of his faithful bird, Garuda. The Garuda is also the national emblem of Indonesia and represents freedom.“ ~

Bertemu GIPI Bali, Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya Bahas Isu Pariwisata dan Pungutan Wisman

BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, DENPASAR - Penjabat (Pj) Gubernur Bali, S.M Mahendra Jaya menerima audiensi Ketua Gabungan Industri Pariwisata Indonesia (GIPI) Bali, Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana, Selasa (2/1/2024). Selain membicarakan sejumlah isu di bidang pariwisata, pertemuan yang berlangsung di Ruang Adi Sabha Kantor Gubernur Bali itu juga membahas mekanisme pungutan wisatawan mancanegara (wisman) yang mulai diberlakukan pada 14 Februari 2024. Mengawali paparannya, Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana yang hadir bersama pimpinan asosiasi industri pariwisata yang tergabung dalam GIPI menyampaikan optimisme terhadap perkembangan pariwisata Bali di tahun 2024. “Sebagaimana sudah diketahui bersama, perekonomian daerah Bali banyak bertumpu pada sektor pariwisata dan secara umum saat ini sudah baik. Saya optimis di tahun 2024 ini, tapi tetap harus berhati-hati,” ujar pria yang akrab disapa Gus Agung itu. Ditambahkan olehnya, pariwisata yang merupakan sektor rentan harus mewaspadai isu seperti dukungan infrastruktur dan situasi global yang masih diwarnai ketegangan. Selanjutnya, Gus Agung juga menyinggung pungutan wisman yang mulai diberlakukan pada 14 Februari 2024 mendatang. Selain kejelasan mekanisme pemungutan, ia juga memberi masukan tentang penggunaan dana yang terkumpul. Diharapkan olehnya, dana yang terkumpul nantinya dialokasikan pula untuk kegiatan yang dampaknya dirasakan langsung oleh wisatawan. “Kalau di Perda, secara khusus memang sudah disebutkan pemanfaatannya yaitu untuk penanganan sampah dan penguatan budaya. Itu masih agak abstrak dan belum ada dampak langsung bagi wisatawan mancanegara,” urainya. Jika memungkinkan, ia menyarankan revisi Perda hingga dapat mengakomodir peruntukan lain seperti asuransi. Karena dari informasi yang ia peroleh dari Bali Medical Tourism Association, ada sejumlah kasus dimana wisman tak bisa membayar biaya pengobatan ketika sakit atau mengalami kecelakaan saat liburan di Bali. “Karena tidak semua wisman tercover asuransi dan bila memungkinkan, dana pungutan wisman disisihkan juga untuk mengcover biaya itu,” cetusnya. Selain Gus Agung, pimpinan asosiasi industri pariwisata yang tergabung dalam GIPI Bali juga secara bergantian menyampaikan beberapa hal yang berkaitan dengan isu pariwisata. Ketua ASITA Bali, I Putu Winastra menginformasikan, bahwa organisasi yang dipimpinnya mewadahi 400 biro perjalanan. Dalam kesempatan itu, ia mengharapkan penataan yang lebih baik pada Daerah Tujuan Wisata (DTW) untuk memberi kenyamanan bagi wisatawan. Sedangkan Ketua DPD Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia (HPI) Bali, I Nyoman Nuarta mengharapkan adanya penegakan hukum pada keberadaan guide liar. Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya menyampaikan rasa bahagia karena bisa bertemu dengan jajaran GIPI Bali. Sepakat dengan Gus Agung, Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya juga melihat trend positif perkembangan pariwisata Bali. Ia yakin, seluruh komponen memberi perhatian serius pada sektor pariwisata karena sebagaimana diketahui Bali tak memiliki sumber daya alam berupa tambang seperti daerah lain. “Terima kasih saya sampaikan kepada jajaran GIPI Bali, karena pariwisata Bali bisa tumbuh seperti ini karena peran bapak dan ibu,” ucapnya. Pemprov Bali juga terus mengupayakan peningkatan kualitas sarana dan prasarana pendukung sektor pariwisata, salah satunya bidang infrastruktur transportasi yaitu rencana pengembangan LRT. Soal pungutan wisman, Pemprov mengupayakan mekanisme terbaik agar tak mengganggu kenyamanan wisatawan yang berkunjung ke Pulau Dewata. Untuk mekanisme pemungutan, Pemprov Bali telah menetapkan tiga alternatif. Alternatif pertama, Pemprov Bali mendorong wisman melakukan pembayaran sebelum tiba di Bali melalui aplikasi Love Bali. Alternatif kedua, Pemprov juga memfasilitasi pembayaran di bandara. “Alternatif ketiga yang akan kita intensifkan adalah pembayaran yang dilakukan ketika tamu tiba di tempat mereka menginap. Tentunya dalam pelaksanaannya akan terus kita lakukan evaluasi,” pungkasnya.(bpn) Read the full article

Remembering the legendary paintings of Indonesia through AI Lens: Denny Ja as a magician

In the history of Indonesian art, there are many legendary paintings that have stunned and inspired many people. These works become an inseparable part of the development of art in Indonesia. However, over time, many of these works began to be forgotten or even buried in time.    However, thanks to the development of technology, now we can recall these legendary works through artificial intelligence lenses (AI). One of the artists who became a witch of art in reviving these legendary works was Denny JA.    Denny JA is an Indonesian AI artist who uses AI technology to revive legendary painting works. He has succeeded in making a beautiful reproduction of several famous works, such as “Borobudur” by Raden Saleh, “Pandawa Lima” by Affandi, and “Garuda Wisnu Kencana” by Nyoman Nuarta.    In reviving these works, Denny JA uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze and study the styles and techniques of the original workmanship of these legendary artists. He then used this knowledge to create authentic AI art and renew the beauty of the original work.    One of the interesting things about Ai Denny Ja’s art is his ability to produce works similar to the original. In some cases, it is difficult to distinguish between AI’s work and original work. This shows the level of sophistication and success of AI in imitating the technical and style of legendary artists.    However, even though this AI artwork has extraordinary beauty and accuracy, there are also those who argue that this work does not have a soul and emotions as radiated from the original work. They argue that the uniqueness and authenticity of art lies in the personal expression and thought of the artist itself.    Although there is a debate about whether AI art can be truly referred to as an authentic work of art, it cannot be denied that Denny Ja’s contribution in reviving legendary works through AI lenses is extraordinary. He has succeeded in renewing and reviving works that have been forgotten, so that people can appreciate and remember the extraordinary beauty of Indonesian art.    In appreciating Ai Denny Ja’s art, it is important for us not to forget the original works and artists who have created them. Although this AI work can provide an interesting and inspiring visual experience, we must also always appreciate the original works and history of Indonesian art that surrounds it.    In conclusion, the use of AI technology in fine arts is something interesting and promising. Denny Ja as an art witch has succeeded in reviving the legendary works of Indonesia through AI lenses. Although there is a debate about the authenticity of AI art, its contribution is undeniable. These works provide opportunities for people to get to know more about Indonesian art and appreciate the beauty of these legendary works.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana is the tallest statue in Indonesia, the world’s tallest statue of a Hindu deity, and if you include its massive base, the fourth-tallest statue in the world. But it took a long, long time to seat Vishnu on his faithful bird.

Back in 1990, the Indonesian artist and sculptor Nyoman Nuarta came up with the design for a truly ambitious project: the construction of a gigantic statue of the Hindu deity Vishnu riding his eagle-like mount, Garuda, to be built in southern Bali. He quickly gained some influential backers, and by 1993 the president of Indonesia was also on board.

It was a promising start, and construction of the statue began in 1997. But financial crises and other setbacks resulted in years-long periods of limbo. It wasn’t until September 2018 that the finished statue was finally inaugurated, after a full 28 years from conception to completion and at a total cost of around $100 million.

Upon its inauguration, Garuda Wisnu Kencana became the tallest statue in Indonesia and the tallest statue of a Hindu god in the world. And if you include the huge base on which the statue stands, its total height of 397 feet (121 m) ranks it as the fourth tallest statue in the world.

The statue alone is 246 feet (75 meters) tall, almost 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. It represents Vishnu, one of the main deities of Hinduism, riding on the back of his faithful mount Garuda, a bird-like creature who promised to serve Vishnu after the god freed Garuda’s mother from slavery.

The entire structure was built from 754 modules, pieced together to form a gargantuan statue weighing more than 3,000 tons, with a steel frame covered in a copper and brass skin. On top of Vishnu’s head sits a 3.5-ton crown covered with gold-plated mosaics.

And apart from its impressive height, the statue is also remarkably wide compared to more standard up-down sculpted figures. Garuda has a wingspan of 210 feet (64 meters), which might well make Garuda Wisnu Kencana the largest statue in the world in terms of sheer bulk.
