Bali Painting - Batuan Style Strongly Wayang based, this style involves hundreds of intricately painted representations
of Balinese life filling every nook and cranny of the canvas. Batuan artists like
I Wayan Bendi, Ni Wayan Warti and I Made Budi, make much more of a statement about
life in Bali, with subject matter including everything from traditional village
activities to camera-toting tourists and even surfers. Earlier Batuan artist,
Ida Bagus Made Togog and Ida Bagus Made Wija, dealt much more with the darker,
supernatural side of life in Bali with people depicted as extremely vulnerable
to the spirits and powers of nature.
