A short article about Bali Culture
its Arts Crafts
Artistically Indonesia is a melting pot of cultures and traditions. The Indonesian
have a natural capacity for absorbing different cultural elements to blend
them with their own to produce dynamic new hybrids. Over the years Indonesia
has been the recipient of numerous influences, Chinese, Buddhist, Indian,
Hindu, Javanese and most recently, Western. For centuries artists and craftsmen
in Indonesia worked under the patronage of the priests and ruling classes,
decorating palaces and temples. The artists themselves were anonymous, never
signing their work and usually living close together in artists' 'villages'.
Indonesia Architecture: Traditional architecture in Indonesia originates from two sources. One is the great Hindu tradition brought to Indonesia from India via Java. The second is an indigenous architecture pre-dating the Hindu epic and in many ways reminiscent of Polynesian building. Even the Indonesian temple, it has been noted, is surrounded by a stone wall dividing its sacred precincts from the village very much like Hawaiian and Tahitian places of worship. Traditional houses that most found in rural area are built using such natural materials as thatch roofing, bamboo poles, woven bamboo, coconut wood, mud and stone they are organic statements in complete harmony with the environment. Many of these are temporary such as the offering houses set up before harvest in the rice fields. Others use trees that will actually keep on growing as the bamboo rots and returns to the mother earth. The Indonesian houses have always been particularly adept using the bamboo. The introduction of cement and other modern materials and the rapid growth of hotels, galleries and new homes has produced mixed results. The opulence and ornamentation of many new hotels are often breath taking. Nowhere else in the world would such wood carvings and stone work be possible. Still the line between kitsch and a good taste is narrow and too often people have failed to appreciate the essence of Indonesian architecture that in many cases has become an amazing parody of itself.
