Embracing Nature’s Poem
Born in Ubud, Nyoman Sujana Kenyem belongs to a small circle of contemporary artists whose work, while modern in spirit and execution, still retains the lyricism of traditional art. It is clear that Kenyem adheres to the ancient mystical belief that humans and artists can best find their inspiration in nature. In one painting, ‘Peace with Nature’, we see a large orb of flowers creating a veil for the sun. More flowers rain down like a yellow bead-like curtain. In the background a stallion rises up on its hind legs as if in defiance against a yellow-green background of leaves. Mysterious tiny dancing figures whirl in the tapestry. There is joy and beauty but also a trite undertone; perhaps an acknowledgment that beauty and life are like all things transient. As in meditation the mind wanders but the artist with simple but profound symbols such as the sun, the moon, flowers and dance brings our focus back to the centre and the beginning and end of all things.
