Exhibition by Brazilian woman artist in Ubud

DENPASAR (indo.com): Top Brazilian women painters Claudia Simoes and Rubens Matuck are displaying their art works at the Santra Putra Fine Art Gallery, Penestanan Kaja, Ubud from July 4 through 25, 2001.

The exhibits are framed in the traditional style of Balinese carvings, reflecting their interest in Balinese style, and more particularly, in carving itself.

The artists have exhibited their works in China, Thailand, Africa, Europe, USA and various countries in South America.

They chose Ubud for the exhibition because they think that many local and foreign artists have produced valuable artworks there.

Ubud is a remarkable town in the middle of the island, surrounded by most of the things that bring people to Bali - scenic rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples, palaces, rivers, cheap accommodation and unique luxury hotels. Its central location makes it easy to get from Ubud to the mountains, beaches, and major towns.

The works of Claudia and Rubens reflect culture, religion, and the spirit of places that they have visited and subsequently transformed into paper oil paintings. Claudia Simoes is an artist who cares deeply about nature, and she always outside in order to be able to interact with nature. Rubens Matuck uses acrylic media on paper.

Travellers to Ubud will also have the opportunity of viewing the best works by young local painter Ni Nyoman Sani. The artist is displaying his works in the Seniwati Showcase on Jl. Raya Ubud. The exhibition commenced in early July will run through July 30, 2001, with 'Faces' as its theme.

Nyoman Sani started his profession as a painter when he was 18 years old. In 1995, he continued his further study at the Indonesian Arts College in Denpasar, Bali.
