Painting along 1 km, 500 to 1,000 local painters engaged
Canvas
along one kilometer will be spread in the area of Kebo Iwa Stadium to
the area of Car Free Day, Gianyar Urban Park. The canvas will invite
about 500 to 1,000 local painters to brush their colors on white canvas.
It was revealed when some senior painters of Gianyar such as Ketut
Budiana, Made Kedol Subrata, Tjokorda Gde Raka, Wayan Karja, I Made
Supena, I Made Mertanadi and Pande Ketut Bawa gathered and discussed to
enliven the anniversary of Gianyar town next April 2015.The painting demo along 1 km would involve a number of potential painters of Gianyar and those having got their fame. All the participants were expected from junior high, high and vocational school students, alumni of the fine art vocational school, self-taught painters, painting studio and the disabled persons. The elements of the subdistrict Advisory Council & Development of Culture (Listibya) would also be involved to hunt painters in their respective region. “Participants of the junior high school are those having outstanding achievement, at least as champion in the subdistrict level,” said Committee Chairman, Nyoman Arjawa.
The paintings that would adorn the canvas would not be contested. If there would be no change, the painting demo would take place at Kebo Iwa Stadium Gianyar and surrounding areas coinciding with the Car Free Day, Sunday (Apr 12). “It is just the initial preparation, we’ll finalize it again in subsequent meetings,” said this former member of the Gianyar House.
Meanwhile, the Head of Gianyar Culture Agency, IGN Wijana, said the painting along 1 km was the idea of Gianyar regent aiming to raise the potential of Gianyar as the warehouse of the arts and empower the potential and senior painters. “This activity is not a show-off but rather aiming to provide space for painters to express their inspirations so that their works will be better known,” said Ngurah Wijana.
Similar expectation was also delivered by Made Kedol Subrata. The works to be produced later would reflect Gianyar as the town becoming the warehouse of the arts. “The works of the art come down from the heart. Thus, this event is not only a ceremonial one but actually produces the works with taksu (divine vibration) and it can be proud of,” he said. (dar)http://bali-travelnews.com
