I Nyoman Londo (b. 1948) Penestanan Bali, undated

I Nyoman Londo is one of the most prominent among the famed Penestanan ‘Young Artists’, and he was directly mentored by the style originator Arie Smit (1916-2016) in the 1960s. The other notable ones include I Ketut Tagen (b.1946), I Wayan Pugur (b.1946), I Nyoman Mundik and I. Nyoman Mujung. The style is known for its bright and bold colours, almost naïve-like renditions of everyday life in Bali. Five schools are discernible from the Balinese communal-type painting namely Balinese Classical Ubud, Batuan, Keliki, Pengosekan and the more cultured Kamasan. The work is filled with relics of Balinese Hinduism like penjor poles, bale (tiered pavilion), candi bentar (split gateways), gamelan, masks, traditional dances, In 1983, the National Art Gallery Kuala Lumpur exhibited the Penestanan works from the collection of architect Datuk Seri Lim Chong Keat. 62 x 81cm
