Kemalezedine; Epigraphic Landscape of Balinese Painting is a solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Kemalezedine, curated by Hermanto Soerjanto. In his paintings presented in this exhibition, he used the colours and water-based paints of Balinese painting, but as an influence from Western art, he applied a layer of oil paint above. Another strong Balinese art influence in Kemalezedine’s paintings are the landscape paintings. When we look at traditional Balinese paintings, landscapes often fill up a big portion of the canvas, similar to his paintings. Objects such as humans, buildings, and religious symbols are hidden behind the lush landscape of Bali. But then again, looking at his paintings feels like looking at Bali from the point of view of a foreigner.
