Young artists deserve support and have their works collected.
The painting potential and proficiency of Indonesian children is magnificent. Without any formal education on the subject, they are able to produce beautiful and characterized works. Just observe the 150 painting works by Indonesian children from 21 provinces and numbers of works from art studios in various cities in Indonesia at the walls of Indonesian National Gallery exhibition spot of Jakarta. Most of them are the product of art studios in each region.
Exhibition curators Indra C Noerhadi and Kuss Indarto did not limit the media and techniques used. They were free to use crayons, water paint, oil paint, conte, collate, and other materials in their works. This exhibition is a celebration to place children of ages 6-12 that received awards in various painting competitions locally, nationally, regionally, and even internationally.
In accordance to the theme, most of them take on the cultures of various regions in Indonesia. Traditional outfits, houses, cultural arts, dance, and various other artistic forms were painted. Priska Ivena of Bandung that received a gold medal from a drawing competition in Egypt, silver medal in Japan and Egypt, Bangladeshm Slovenia, Poland, and a number of other countries; presented the drawing of Wayang Togog. The Javanese traditional artistic icon was arranged with a rather detailed color and line composition. Each of the body parts were brushed with different colors, maing the drawing comes to life. Togog was portrayed short figured, big bellied, and comic characterized.
Chel’en Christevelyn Dewi from Jambi displayed the painting of Chinese Lunar Year Celebration in Jambi. The work imaged a boy and girl celebrating the event, both happy and joyous. On their hands a red cloth with Chinese script was placed. The colors red and yellow dominated the canvas. This work wishes to celebrate the new Indonsia that has place Chinese tradition as part of its wealth. The iron hands those discriminated Chinese culture has know melted.
In the end, the exhibition will have a rather significant meaning for the Indonesian fine-art history, should the Jakarta Indonesian National Gallery be willing to collect the works of these children from various provinces. Because, all these times, there has not been any special large collection that stores the works of children those are worthy to be references in the progress of Indonesian children fine-art history. Should this be done, the Indonesian National Gallery will be noted down in the history of Indonesian fine-art history as one of the institution that is willing and capable of documenting children fine-art masterpieces.
