The Jenggala Artist Scholarship Program was initiated from the proceeds of the photography exhibition of Brent Hesselyn's work, one of Jenggala's founders, in December 2003. The scholarships were awarded in 2004 to five inspiring artists from the Indonesian Institute of Art (ISI) in Denpasar. Jenggala is proud to present these scholarship recipients in an exhibition of paintings entitled "Scenes of Nature".

Truly inspired by the endless beauty of nature, the 5 students of Indonesian Institute of Art (ISI), Denpasar, try to respond to the challenges nature has provided them in creating their artwork through color, shape and the philosophy that connect the whole element together.

Beautifully done, Dedy symbolizes the flowers magnificent aspect combining with the space dimension which he portrays as a garden framed on canvas. Ida Bagus Tilem and Wayan Linggih try to enter the dimension of a forest as a part of wild life. Forest represents an array of tranquillity, comfort and loneliness. In the depth of a forest, they find the aesthetic values perfectly illustrate their artwork.

I Komang Suarsana pictures the elements of space as a part of nature.Through his paintings, Suarsana expresses his admiration for land, forest, sea and mountain with its colorful dimension adding perfection to the life itself. On the other hand, perhaps, he also wants to describe the exploitations of nature which are going out of hand. His paintings leave us wondering and searching for answers.

The exhibition offers such variety one can imagine of trees, flowers and forests. As the magnificent creature, butterfly is also described as the exotic element rich of color and charm that compliments the scene of nature. The space dimension, as the nature's measurement, is also featured in this exhibition.

The artists try to communicate about nature in abstract, realist and surrealist styles in different ways. I Wayan Edhi Sutarna paints the butterflies on his canvases by picturing them capable of communicating in many ways as human beings do. Vinsensius Dedy Reru completes Sutarna's paintings by showing the connection between butterfly and flower in real life.
