Pranoto
and his wife Kerry Pendergrast are well-established and infuential artists
working in Ubud. Pursuing his dream of becoming an artist, Pranoto left Solo
for Ubud in 1974. Over the years he collected artworks which led to the
establish- ment of his gallery in 1996. Here he not only exhibits his work, and
works from his collection, but also mounts solo and group shows. Kerry is from
Perth in Western Australia, where she followed a career in Theatre and Music,
but since her arrival in Ubud in 1993 she has developed as an artist. Kerry is
instrumental in organizing the model sessions that take place regularly at the
gallery and have become indespensible to the Ubud Art Community. Currently at
the gallery Pra- noto and Kerry are presenting an exhibition of their recent
charcoal and soft pas- tel drawings. Entitled “Radiance”, the works in the
exhibition are “in pursuit of elusive light”.
The
depiction of light has been a major theme throughout the history of Western
Art. Light is intangible. We can see it but it has no substance. We can only
ob- serve the presence of light by how it reacts with material objects. Light
is predo- minantly used to indicate a sense of atmosphere. The depiction of
light also has a history of symbolizing a divine or spiritual presence and can
be used to convey the power of Nature's inner life and forces.
Created with
charcoal on paper Pranoto presents classic studio nude studies. These are very
fine drawings, exhibiting good line, shape and composition. In the Rubenesque
female nude “Inclination” the model is bathed in a soft white light that mold
her voluptuous body, while harsh lines acute angles and stark sha- dows are
used to convey masculinity in “Reclining Male Figure”. Also most plea- sing is
the semi-draped and seated “Young Woman” who appears to radiate an innerglow of
peace and serenity. All of Pranoto's drawings display a deft assu- redness and
a distinct “Master's Touch”.
