Contemporary Art
May 23rd, 2006
Bali’s reputation as an international centre for the arts is further enhanced with the recent opening of Casa Iseabo, a gallery specializing in contemporary art, centrally located in Seminyak. The gallery focuses on artists who dare to be true to their vision in a chosen field - whether stone or wood hand-carving, glass, painting, metals or any other medium.
Casa Iseabo supports and promotes exceptionally talented local artists who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to exhibit their work in Bali and overseas.
The gallery’s first exhibition spotlights the “primitive-modernist” art of famous Balinese stone sculptor, I Wayan Cemul. At 78 years of age, this is only his second exhibition in 50 years (in 1983 he exhibited in Australia) and the first time he has produced sculptures in white stone. His unconventional sculptures are delightfully Balinese in character and full of comical playfulness. Many of them are displayed in museums and hotels throughout Bali, as well as collected by private individuals worldwide.
