About the Item

Mixed media with acrylic on canvas My wife's grandmother or parents are in a village where I gather with my extended family in Boyolali, Central Java. This is where my wife was born and raised and in my grandmother's house we gather and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, a place far from air pollution and city crowds. I felt peace and tranquility when I was in this village because the characteristics of this village are that every road is surrounded by lots of rice fields, mountains and hills that make it cool, clean rivers that flow by themselves and various kinds of trees are planted. Every morning, it is always accompanied by the sound of a rooster crowing as if to wake me up from my sleep. The sun slowly emerged to reveal its bright light. I walked out of the house and saw rice fields in front of the farmer's house. There are some rice fields planted with rice that are still green which feels cool, there are some that are yellow which looks beautiful, and there is also a farmer who is plowing his field which has not yet been planted with rice. Apart from that, farmers also look for grass for their pets such as goats, buffalo and cows. In this village, the average population works as farmers because they take advantage of the surrounding conditions without destroying the natural beauty around them. Residents in this village are very dependent on the natural surroundings, such as the air flowing from the mountains for their daily lives, there are also some who still use latrines because in each resident's house there are several ponds in which there are many different types of fish to meet their needs. To save fuel in the kitchen, local residents use firewood because finding firewood is very easy to get. The advantage of using firewood is that apart from saving, the results of cooking using firewood are also delicious, but the disadvantage of firewood is that there is smoke which is very disturbing to environmental comfort. The daily lives of local residents are very diligent and creative, and the needs of local residents are very dependent on natural life and also utilize the natural resources around them. By protecting and maintaining the surrounding environment they will not lack the available natural resources. Kusbudiyanto is an Indonesian artist born in 1969 who lives & works in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. He started his artistic career in working for a company engaged in the export of crafts and assisting artisans. His job was product development and craft design. Learning from making designs to crafts helps him in continuing his hobby of painting. He was asked by this company to take part in working in design in the Philippines in 1996 and in the Netherlands in 2000. At the beginning of 2016 he learned to paint with canvas. He tried to paint with many themes such as the tradition of Satu Suro, Keris and other themes such as shadow puppet performances. These works were purchased by Mr. Seno Samudro who is the head of the Boyolali area in 2017. In 2018, he took part in the exhibition for the first time in Yogyakarta at Nandur Srawung, the participants were painters and sculptors throughout Indonesia, then Budaya Yogyakarta in 2019, Singapore in 2020 and many others exhibitions later. This painting tells the story of a father and his son who live near the forest. Their life is very simple every day, just farming and occasionally looking for fruit, honey which can be sold to the city and looking for dry tree branches which they use as fuel for cooking and some of which they sell to the city. They really love their life living in a village near the forest far from the city, they are very familiar with the path in the middle of the forest which they pass every day to look for fruit and twigs. And they really care about the animals that live in the forest, they don't like hunting animals, in fact they really care for and maintain life in the forest by not destroying the forest. Because by protecting the forest, life in the village is well maintained. Water sources are maintained and village people use water for farming and other basic needs such as cooking, bathing and so on. By protecting the forest, the beauty and diversity of living creatures living in the forest can be maintained and provide benefits for everyone.
