EVENTS OF THIS MONTH
AUGUST 2011
- 1 August
An Exhibition of Paintings by I Made Duatmika with theme “Tourist Sites” held at the Ganesha Gallery Four Seasons Jimbaran.
A talented colorist with a flair for jewel-like asymmetrical compositions, Duatmika’s canvasses can be compared to stained glass windows with secular scenes. It is clear that his wish is to express his joy and thanks through his art. Indeed, while there is a tendency for tourists to bemoan the negative effects of tourism, this should be tempered by the realization that there are many good effects as well.
