It took a long time to have these paintings shipped from Bali and it took even longer for me to find someone to prepare them for hanging on the wall (I just shipped the canvasses, not the frames). More are still coming, including some paintings I did while in Bali.
Jamil Supriatna is a Javanese painter, born in Bogor, who moved to Bali in 1981. He paints in various styles. "Legong Dancers," for instance, is much more representative. Other paintings I've seen by him are way more abstract. This blog is named after his painting "Sleeping with Snakes" (See picture in right top corner).
How colorful and unique! I wouldn't mind having a painting by him on my walls. I tend to admire good drawing, since I can't draw to save my life. But, now, I find myself seeking color. Eventually, I intend to replace at least two prints (which feature excellent drawing by Dietrich Varez) with colorful art.
ReplyDeleteOn Monday I'm bringing home the rest of Jamil's paintings. I'm going to try to hang them all on the limited wall space we have. But if I have any paintings left, you're welcome to borrow or buy the ones you like for your home.
ReplyDeleteOK. Thanks!
