If you travel through Indonesia you will find great diversity from island to island, and a vast array of different art forms.

Indonesia has a very rich history, of elaborate kingdoms, ruled by powerful kings. The country was also colonized by the Dutch for several hundred years. All this history can be seen in the art here, which is expressed in many different ways, from textiles to sculpting to painting.

Influences on Indonesian art

Indonesia is well known for its delicious spices and through trading this commodity, many visitors passed through, and brought elements of their own cultures. The most visible influences are from India, China and Europe. The Hindu culture from India has permeated much of Indonesian culture, bringing the epic stories from ancient times. These have had a very large influence on Indonesian art.

The shadow puppets or Wayang Kulit, are used to entertain the people, and also appear in many paintings. These fascinating characters, illuminated from behind, give a very mythical and spiritual feel.

The geography of Indonesia is very diverse, with forests, lakes and mountains, as well as beaches and rice fields. All these landscapes are captured in the paintings. Mountains are a particularly dominant theme, as this dramatic natural form is considered to be very spiritual.

Indonesian art from Java

Java is a very densely populated island, and is home to the government as well as several very busy cities. Yogyakarta is known as the artistic capital of Java, as the sultan here has been a great supporter of the arts for many years. There are many art forms practiced in this vibrant city, from silver work, to batik to painting.

As you walk the streets in Yogyakarta, you will see many paintings lining the road sides, as well as artists sitting ready to paint your portrait. These talented artists can create a very lifelike image in a matter of minutes. These can be created out of charcoal, or paint.

The style of painting from this region ranges from the traditional, batik inspired creations to more modern, politically driven ones. These bold images show the real life behind the picture postcard images.

Indonesian art from Bali

Balinese Art Statue

Bali is brimming with artists, from dancers, to painters to sculptors. Art plays an integral part of everyday life here, you will see it everywhere you turn. Even the offerings that are made and placed on the street as a token for God are artistic in their construction. Such care and grace is taken in every part of daily life.

A small village called Ubud, in the center of the island, is the hub for all the artists to gather and exchange ideas. Many artists from the west have settled here over the years, and their styles have been adapted by the locals.

The art that can be found in Bali has many different influences from the outside. The traditional rice field scenes are still very popular, but more and more modern art is appearing in the stores.

Watercolors, oil paintings, abstract and realist, all styles can be found in this small community. The Indonesians take the different styles, and then put their own twist to them. It is often said that the Western artists paint from their minds, whereas the Indonesian art comes from their hearts and souls.

Textile art products

Bali Sarong

Indonesian textile art products represent the rich cultural heritage of the region. There are various methods employed to create these textiles. The most famous style is batik. This is created by drawing designs on the fabric with wax, and then placing it in to several dyes, until the desired color is achieved. Once the color is there, the wax is removed, to reveal the design underneath.

Batik textiles can be found in many different styles and colors and can be used to make clothing, as well as well as wall hangings. Other styles include various weaving techniques. There are double weave ikat designs made in the Nusa Tenggara islands. These take months to create and the end result is truly amazing. They can be used as wall decorations, or soft furnishings.

The colors, shapes and designs used on these textile art products all have special meanings within the culture that they were created. They are used to celebrate certain rites of passage, such as births, deaths and marriages.

Handicraft art products

Handicraft products have been developed from the use of every day household items that were decorated and used for ceremonial purposes. You can find some amazing wood and stone carvings, that were originally created to guard the temples, but now are sold in many different forms for decoration purposes.

Masks and puppets play an important role in Indonesian performance art, with the most famous being the wayang kulit. These are puppets made from leather, and used to perform shadow puppet shows. The puppets can be found in various forms, and make great decorations. Highly decorated masks also make great wall hangings.

All of these products are made using the natural resources found on the islands, such as wood, bamboo, rattan and grasses. Natural dyes are used to give the pieces color and bring them to life.

Musical art products

Music plays a very important role in every day life in Indonesia. There are many musical instruments that are unique to this region. Bali is well known for its Gamelan, which looks similar to a xylophone, but uses a different note structure. In the villages in Bali, you will hear the sounds of gamelan wafting over the rice fields as the groups practice their music for any upcoming ceremonies.

Gamelan instruments are beautiful pieces, decorated in red and gold, and the sound has an extremely rich tone. Bamboo flutes are often used in combination, as well as large golden gongs. Angklung is an instrument native to Java, and is created out of several pieces of bamboo, which resonate when struck. Three or more performers play together to create melodies.

If you are a music lover, you will greatly enjoy exploring all the different musical instruments to be found in this country.
