Suklu
The concept of Suklu's exhibition HARMONY at Jenggala
is based on a flower as an accent, a human metaphor
in repetition.
Flower
attracts people for its beauty and its function
in people's life. The especially true in Bali, where
people take the flower as a part of a spiritual
rhythm the communication with God.
That is also how Suklu looks at the beauty of the
flower.
For Suklu Flowers become objects that wake him to
communicatie more with flowers, therefore the flower
does not just speak for it self.
|
In Suklu's touch
of art, Flower has its sense and it sensitiveness.
Flower moves, stays, converses, gathers, smiles, rotates,
fills the space with silence and clatters are the
'Flower language' composed by Suklu.
Different colours appear on flower's composition
and has a meaningful pattern represents a diversity
yet unity with the harmony.
The
flower becomes a human and for Suklu he creates
a humanism in the flower.
These feelings enrich us when we have a look at
a flower.

It is hard to imagine a world without bottles. Bottles
are so much a part of our daily life that few people
ever think about them at all. Bottles are made,
filled, emptied and thrown away. Their broken remains
sad witnesses to our ever growing commitment to
consumption.
The
first glass bottles were made some four thousand
years ago, they are as old as civilization itself.
The history of civilization could almost be told
through a history of bottles. While the temples
and homes of ancient societies crumbled into dust,
their bottles remained, buried and forgotten, waiting
to tell their story.
|
| Before
modern machinery started churning out bottles by the
ton, all bottles were made by hand. Bottles were valuable
then, and were never to be found littering our world.
Always collected, cleaned and re-used, they were part
of our living cycle. Bottles carried medicines to distant
cities, refreshed the weary traveler, brought fine wines
to aged perfection.
Bottles
had respect.
This
show then, is a tribute to the humble bottle. Some
of them are statements of form, some simply statements
of surface.
Several make a little fun of us.
Too
long ignored, the bottle fights back!
