Keep World Peace With Art

fahmi — June 5, 2009 / 8:17 pm

I Wayan Suardana shows his artistic carve that many of them were visualized as elephant.

The carve was made from jati wood, so the strength and the groove of the elephant can be seen in detail. We can see the elephant trunk so smooth and clear.

I Wayan Suardana said, the inspiration came from Bali religion, especially Hindu. Elephant is a symbol of strong and honesty. In his carve, I Wayan put spear, arrow, and shield in the backside of elephant. Meanwhile, in the abdomen of elephant, he put lesung (an Indonesian traditional equipment) as symbol traditional equipment that no longer be used.

We can see this culture and art product in Nusantara Art Exhibition in Galeri Nasional Indonesia (Indonesia National Gallery).
