POURS TWO GLASSES FROM A BOTTLE OF 18-YEAR-OLD MACALLAN single-malt Scotch. He’s sitting poolside at his 1,000-square- meter villa on the outskirts of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the eve- ning air rich with jasmine, frangipani and passion fruit, mingled with the sweet smoke from Masriadi’s clove cigarette. A shiny, new, 1,700-cubic-centimeter Harley-Davidson motor- cycle is parked at one end of his garden; a Balinese-style gazebo and shrine stand at the other. “Perhaps I have had success in my career,” the 40-year-old artist says. Masriadi is being modest. Fifteen years ago, he was hawking souvenir paintings to tourists in Bali for $20 a pop. Today, his canvases sell at blue-chip galleries for $250,000 to $300,000, and he’s the first living Southeast Asian artist whose work has topped $1 million at auction. Hence the Harley, the pool and the expensive Scotch. An obsessive and painstakingly slow painter, Masriadi turns out only eight to 10 canvases a year. His style is a cross between DC Comics (home to Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman), which he acknowledges as an inspiration, and the Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero, whom he does not. Me- ticulously executed and ironic, his works feature preternatu- rally muscular figures with gleaming skin. His themes range from mobile phones and online gaming to political corruption and the pain of dieting. Deceptively simple at first glance, his works often evince trenchant political satire. Nicholas Olney, director of New York’s Paul Kasmin Gallery, recalls seeing an exhibition of the artist’s work for the first time at the Singapore Art Museum in 2008.

Archival Pigment Print on Aluminum Protected with Transparent Acrylic 120 X 150 Cm Agan Harahap
Agan Harahap Old Master 2016 | Archival pigment print on aluminum protected with transparent acrylic 120 x 150 cm Agan Harahap Bounty Hunter 2016 | Archival pigment print on aluminum protected with transparent acrylic 155 x 100 cm Di era teknologi digital ini, citra menyebar di dunia maya secepat cahaya. Kecepatan, ilusi dan kesolidan realitas maya membuat kita kerap merasakannya sebagai realitas sesungguhnya. Tanpa pernah menyaksikan lukisan aslinya dan merasa berjarak dengan paradigma dunia seni ‘tinggi’ di Indonesia, Agan Harahap menemukan citra sosok-sosok karikatural yang dikenal sebagai identitas “blue-chip” lukisan Nyoman Masriadi. Lukisan- lukisan bercitra koboi-pemburu dan kesatria mirip samurai itu tahun lalu dipajang di sebuah galeri terkenal di New York. Agan Harahap “melukis” atau menafsir ulang citraan mashyur itu dengan perangkat lunak komputer. Kejanggalan yang ditemukan pada lukisan Masriadi diperbaiki menjadi citra fotografis yang lebih ‘sempurna’ dengan merekayasa sejumlah foto rujukan dan model citra temuan. Kendati tetap condong sebagai fiksi, karyanya memberi asosiasi tokoh yang benar-benar ada di dunia nyata. Karya olahan fotografinya menjadi parodi dari citra lukisan yang—entah dengan mekanisme apa—ditahbiskan sebagai “kandidat apresiasi” yang bernilai sangat tinggi. In this era of digital technology, an image multiplies in the virtual world in the speed of light. The speed, the illusion and the solidity of virtual world make us often feel it as a true reality. Since he never watched the real painting and still feels a distance from the paradigm of "high" art world in Indonesia, Agan Harahap found the image of caricature figures known as the "blue-chip" identity of Nyoman Masriadi's painting.

Report on the AIIA Vic Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019
Report on the AIIA Vic Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019 Networking Reception in Yogyakarta Report - AIIA Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019 Dear Reader, We arrived in Indonesia with open minds. We came from all States in Australia, except South Australia. We were a very eclectic group of Australians with many different backgrounds, ages and interests. This meant that we saw the same things and heard the same things but through different lenses. This deepened our understanding of Indonesia. The list of all Delegates are appended to this report. We were very well received wherever we went. Our Australian Missions in Indonesia were most helpful. We met with numerous peoples and organisations. These too are listed in this report. Despite taking six internal flights, we saw very little of this very large and diverse country; seeing only Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Makassar and Toraja. And yet, from those visits, we gleaned so much about this most wonderful country. We were fortunate in having briefing materials prior to our departure. The headings of these are appended to this report. We came away from Indonesia optimistic about its future; marvelling at the opportunities it has and the challenges it faces. We nevertheless carry a disappointment in that Australians have a pitiful knowledge about Indonesia. We came away with the understanding that Australians must implement changes to ensure that Indonesia and Australia can only go into the future, hand in hand, if we, in Australia, are determined to inform ourselves better, much better, about our most important neighbour. I hope that this report does something towards achieving that.

For Immediate Release CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA Private View
For Immediate Release CONTEMPORARY INDONESIA Private view: 18 June 2012, 6-8pm Running Dates: 19 June– 4 August 2012 This exhibition is held in collaboration with Matthias Arndt. Ben Brown Fine Arts, London, is proud to present Contemporary Indonesia, a group exhibition of Indonesia’s most seminal and talented artists. The artistic production and innovation emanating from Indonesia, one of the most culturally and religiously diverse countries in the world, is staggering. In the last two decades, Indonesia has experienced major political change and globalization, resulting in more provocative, challenging and critical work from its artists. While Indonesia has always had a rich artistic tradition, with many artists forming collaboratives and exhibition spaces on the islands of Java and Bali in particular, it is only the last two decades that the market and audience for their work have expanded globally. The artists included in this exhibition are FX Harsono, Nyoman Masriadi, Eko Nugroho, J. Ariadhitya Pramuhendra, Agus Suwage, Ugo Untoro, Entang Wiharso and Yunizar. FX Harsono (born 1949) is known for critically addressing Indonesian political and social issues and is particularly interested in notions of self-identity. Born in the village of Blitar to Chinese-Indonesian parents, Harsono reflects upon the history and injustices of Chinese-Indonesian minorities in his powerful body of work, which includes painting, installations and videos. His latest works focus on writing his Chinese name, in response to a series of laws President Suharto enacted during his regime (1967-1998) that restricted the practice of Chinese customs and religion to private domains and forced Chinese-Indonesians to change their names to Indonesian-sounding names.

Balinese Art Versus Global Art1 Adrian Vickers 2
Balinese Art versus Global Art1 Adrian Vickers 2 Abstract There are two reasons why “Balinese art” is not a global art form, first because it became too closely subordinated to tourism between the 1950s and 1970s, and secondly because of confusion about how to classify “modern” and “traditional” Balinese art. The category of ‘modern’ art seems at first to be unproblematic, but looking at Balinese painting from the 1930s to the present day shows that divisions into ‘traditional’, ‘modern’ and ‘contemporary’ are anything but straight-forward. In dismantling the myth that modern Balinese art was a Western creation, this article also shows that Balinese art has a complicated relationship to Indonesian art, and that success as a modern or contemporary artist in Bali depends on going outside the island. Keywords: art, tourism, historiography outheast Asia’s most famous, and most expensive, Spainter is Balinese, but Nyoman Masriadi does not want to be known as a “Balinese artist”. What does this say about the current state of art in Bali, and about Bali’s recognition in global culture? I wish to examine the post-World War II history of Balinese painting based on the view that “modern Balinese” art has lost its way. Examining this hypothesis necessitates looking the alternative path taken by Balinese 1 This paper was presented at Bali World Culture Forum, June 2011, Hotel Bali Beach, Sanur. 2 Adrian Vickers is Professor of Southeast Asian Studies and director of the Australian Centre for Asian Art and Archaeology at the University of Sydney.
