During
three months, thirty-one of the foremost Balinese
traditional painters will expose more than
sixty examples
of their contemporary works of art during the annual
Kebiar Seni 2001 which takes place at the Exhibition
Building of The Museum Puri Lukisan in Ubud from July
7 until October 7, 2001.
The
theme of this annual event is Taksu, the Balinese
word for charisma or a gifted person. A gift that
can be assimilated to inherited talent. It is a
stable element, yet inseparable from the character
that can be found in their paintings.
It
is the continuous powerful style and expressiveness
of each individual painter that the organizers tried
to show. Without these merits the Kebiar Seni could
not have existed as it has for the past six years.
We
hope you will make use this opportunity and appreciate
these great Balinese artists.
