Earthscape exhibition is the presentation of the latest artworks by Putu Sutawijaya, a figure that have long hold fame in the Indonesian art scene. Can's Gallery is proud for being able to present this series of artwork, showing his latest investigation in artistic vision and visual languages that differ from his previous works.
For quite some times, Putu Sutawijaya is known through painting works depicting human bodies in gestures of flying or dancing, all with anonymous faces. After that period, Putu Sutawijaya was then interested to trace back history through the appearances of ancient sites like temples or ancient inscriptions. The exploration also brought Putu to reconsider the relations between history and nature, and how the natural vista and landscape also changed along the transformation of human civilization. The result is what is called as earthscape, not in the meaning of the earth landscape from a height, but the landscape as it is observed from a close proximity, an experience-near.
This exhibition features 18 paintings and 3 sculptures with various size. Several paintings in the series are actually in extreme when it transforms an image of trees, flowers, or leaves become shapes that look like an abstract work. These series is also surprising with the use of unequivocal bright colors , like spontaneous like spontaneous scribbles from the artist's creative power. These new colors are bold in strong strokes, that it seems to react with the ideas of harmonious landscape | |
