About the Item

This most eye catching piece of fine artwork dates to circa 1930 and is a Burmese painting on fine canvas laid onto a card and shows a kaleidoscope type image where every available space has been filled with amazing detail and colour. The view shows a ritualistic celebration with musicians playing instruments and dancing girls. There is feasting with abundant amounts of food in a richly decorated scene. This complicated image is difficult to digest at a glance and needs to be studied to be fully appreciated. It is signed by the artist in the bottom right hand corner. The painting is displayed in its original hand carved hardwood frame which is also of Burmese origin. Sizes including frame: Height 60cm x width 46cm x depth 20cm Circa 1930

Vintage Large Balinese Painting on Silk from Ubud Bali
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Mid-20th century Balinese painting on silk fabric, framed. Vintage large Balinese art painting, from Ubud, Bali acrylic on silk. Beautiful artwork by the Indonesian artist from Ubud. Painted in Peliatan, Ubud Bali by W. Kurpelir as signed on the bottom left hand corner. Balinese Folk Festival ceremonial procession, Ink and acrylic paint on canvas. Batuan painting evolved in the 1930s after a group of local villagers tested different forms with ink-washed paintings upon black backgrounds. These paintings often reveal Batuan’s cultural life, directly through their elements of line, shape, and tone. Meticulous design, craftsmanship, and strong visual impression are characteristic of the style. The painting comprise individual shapes which are painted in a precise and systematic manner that does not leave any empty space. The complexity of the paintings is inevitable as each of the strokes, lines, gradations, the characters or the subjects forms a delicate unity that finely balances the figure-filled canvas. Various gradations of colors separate different sections of the painting. The landscape is enticing and endless. About Bali Art...
