Suanjaya Kencut

Suanjaya Kencut (*1994, Indonesien) verstand als Kind Balis, wie reich sein Land an Kultur war, die aus den vielschichtigen Verbindungen von hiesiger Geschichte, Traditionen und Religionen entstanden. Kunst ist seit der Schulzeit ein Teil seines Lebens und diente als Grundlage für seine malerische Praxis. Anschließend setzte er seine künstlerische Ausbildung am Yogyakarta Indonesian Art Institute fort. Suanjaya lernte Kunst und Handwerk schon in der 6. Klasse und formte seinen einzigartigen Stil mit einer puppenähnlichen Persönlichkeit, die als Barong oder Rangda bezeichnet wird, weil sie von Menschenhand hergestellt wurde.

 

As a child of Bali, Suanjaya Kencut (*1994, Indonesia) understood how rich his country was in culture, which arose from the complex connections between local history, traditions and religions. Art has been a part of his life since school and served as the basis for his painting practice. He then continued his artistic education at the Yogyakarta Indonesian Art Institute. Suanjaya learned arts and crafts as early as the 6th grade and formed his unique style with a doll-like personality referred to as a barong or rangda because it was made by human hands.
