ARTS
on IndoArtNet

Indonesia has not only time-honored traditions like the highly sophisticated court rituals of central Java, the tribal arts of outlying islands, the ancient musical forms of Gamelan or the Hindu and Buddhist temple achitecture, but also a very active modern arts scene. Young people follow worldwide trends and are continuously creating new and re-creating old ways.

An example is the use of the ancient textile colouring techniqueBatik, together with a creative mind and modern chemical dyes, to create modern, abstract paintings. We have teamed up with some of Indonesia's foremost artists in this field.
