Variety & Design in Balinese Sculpture – a glimpse [Statues of Bali]
Made Wijaya
[Sanur]: Fotokopi, [1986].“Sculpture is the essence of Balinese Temple & Courtyard decoration: as guardian, shrine angel, diety effigy, bas relief or carved gate. The Balinese have been carving up walls, gates and shrines for at least 1000 years and in that time have digested quirks, twirls, borders, styles, movements and colouring techniques from various foreign cultures: Chinese, Javanese, Portuguese, Dutch, 20th Century Urban. The incredibly dynamic nature of Balinese Art is best expressed in carving and sculpture.” (from foreword) Made Wijaya (born in Sydney as Michael White, 1953-2016) was a landscape architect who left Sydney for Bali as a break from architectural studies at University of Sydney and stayed, immersing himself in the Balinese culture, consorting with royalty, and in 1975 was renamed Made Wijaya by a priest in a Hindu temple ceremony.
