Brent Hesselyn


Brent Hesselyn - a pioneer, artist and patriot of the arts. Brent lived in Bali from 1979. A man of many talents. he saw the world through inspired eyes. His photography is an early mark of his love of Bali, its people and culture.

In his early days in Bali, Brent created a library of photographs which are a unique representation of the island in the 1970's. they reflect his amazing enthusiasm, curiosity and appreciation for the then almost undisturbed ancient Balinese culture. His photographs pay great attention to detail. They have special warmth, empathy and humour, as well as a unique photographers talent for clarity and poignancy.

Ceramics was another of his loves and Jenggala Keramik Bali stands as a display of Brents ambition, dedication and achievements. Founded in1976 in collaboration with Wija Wawo-Runtu and daughter Ade Wawo-Runtu Soetarjo. It started as a small experimental cottage industry in Batu Jimbar, Bali and continues be a high profile producer of hand crafted ceramic and glassware earning critical acclaim on the international market.


Brent was known for his generosity and enthusiasm. He provided many artists with opportunities to develop their skills. In his honour the proceeds from this exhibition will go towards the development of a fund to support emerging artists in Bali, giving them the chance to pursue their dreams and ambitions.
