Greatly influenced by traditional Indonesian decorative art, Widayat was known for his meticulous ornamental paintings of the Indonesian landscape. As an artist who had lived through the colonial days, Widayat also strived to rid his artistic style from the Dutch traditions, attempting to reinvent a new chapter for post-colonial Indonesian art.
Flora dan Fauna (Flora and Fauna) appears to be a monochromatic painting with an extremely dense composition. However upon closer inspection, the work presents itself as a mystical fantasy of jungle life, fully demonstrating Widayat’s signature “decora-magical” techniques. The present lot exemplifies the beauty of nature that makes reference to primitivism, which also ties back into the rich Indonesian landscape and wilderness.
Possibly inspired by the Indonesian tradition of batik handicraft, Widayat’s painting alludes to the detailed patterns found in batik textiles. Though the composition is brimming with many shapes and forms, the painting succeeds to convey the tranquility and diversity of the natural word.
