FRAGMENTS OF SUBSCONSCIUOS MEMORY

Solo Exhibition by TEJA ASTAWA
FRAGMENTS OF SUBSCONSCIUOS MEMORY

Curated by I Wayan Seriyoga Parta

As we take a step into the new year 2011, Tonyraka Art Gallery presents Teja Astawa Solo Exhibition, a young artist from Sanur, Bali whose artwork expresses visual uniqueness. His artwork representation is a development of wayang art language, the ideas of which are dug out of his childhood subconscious memories when he played with kamboja leaves that were shaped into wayang figures.

The experience, established in his memories, reappears through spontaneous mechanism and becomes visible in images of his art of painting as he grows up. Based on the experience Teja is presenting his artwork in an exhibition entitled “Fragments of Subconscious Memory”, wherein he includes strange, peculiar but at the same time unique objects, and actually it is the uniqueness that makes his artwork fascinating.

As a provider of an art creativity space, we proudly introduce a hidden potential of a highly creative young artist who has created artworks of highly characterized and aesthetic qualities. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Teja Astawa for his exceptional co-operation, and Wayan Seriyoga Parta, the curator who has accompanied the artist’s creative artwork process since the very first day of its preparation up to the execution of this exhibition.

Hopefully, Teja’s artwork representation in this exhibition may perhaps offer contribution to contemporary art development.
