Painter and Sculptor

Recently, the painter Tjokorda Udiana Nindhia Pemayun more concentrated on the profile painting of beautiful women in imagination. Most of his paintings have sweet and attractive colors, sizing 60-80 cm. Meanwhile, the media in use is acrylic paint on canvas. Paintings of this style are liked best by Japanese girls as they reflect motherly characters with the nuance of traditional scratch expressed in modern era.
Tjok Udiana, as he is friendly called, was born in Denpasar on 26 February 1973. He has a concept of grasping a smile behind a smile of a dreamy girl. His paintings give an account of the mystery of a smile behind the smile of Balinese girl that has not been revealed yet in the stiffness of social phenomena facing the problematic life to face up. Presence of lines, colors and scratch of brush tends to simplicity. “I want to reveal the paintings giving the coolness of an attractive smile to calm down the ambience of a room if they are later displayed in a room,” he stated tranquilly.
Paintings of this style are more appropriate to furnish the romantic, obscure and sensual interior. On that account, it is not surprising that many circles take a brief look to make them into wall decoration. Unfortunately, these paintings take him so long time to complete. “Mood and imagination should thoroughly come together to my mind,” he told Bali Travel News.
Aside from painting, the artist who has carried out some exhibitions at several places is also active to made sculptures from recycled paper. On the whole, these sculptures take the shape of eagle and bhuta khala (demonic figure) resembling the embodiment of small size ogoh-ogoh (papier mâché demon). His works are more appropriately applied to accompanying the sculpture of decorative plants.
As a painter and sculpture, Tjok Udiana has some few ‘flying hours’ in art working. He is made busier by his campus tasks. Of course, other than being an artist, he is also a lecturer on fine arts subject at the Indonesia Institute of Arts (ISI) Denpasar.
Within this year 2007, this artist who is actively taking part in an co-exhibition with BAPA (Bali Artist Painters Association), would like to open up description on different theme from his imaginary girl. What is his other style? Let’s wait his upcoming exhibition!(BTN/015)
