Dear art enthusiasts and collectors,
The following Sidharta ArtFordable is our 32th auction; furthermore, this August we are celebrating our 14th anniversary. It is quite a long journey -- over a decade indeed. In this very special month, we would like to share our gratefulness that amid the busy and hyper connected world, more and more talented artists have emerged to introduce their artistic creations.
Through our affordable auction platform, our intention is to give opportunities and encourage artists – new, young and old – to promote their artworks in the hope that more art lovers and collectors can enjoy and attain their artwork. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we believe that our curated selections deserved to have a home to shine. Through this auction, we do hope that we can support artists to grow their passions, refine their talented skills and educate more to understand and appreciate arts. We have collaborated with hundreds of artists all these years, and now we display 132 lots that consist of paintings, sculpture and woodwork.
We also offer a proof of painting authenticity (certificate) of prominent artists of the followings, Perahu (boat) by Popo Iskandar, Ayam Jantan Tua (old rooster) and Orchid in Bali by the late Krijono as well as Diana by Jeihan. There are two other works of Jeihan also and one of them is a bit rare, a close up of Wajah Penari (dancer face). Aside from that, there are three dimensional lots; two sculptures by Johan Abe with titles Model made of resin and Standing Tall in bronze. In addition, we have a piece of wood work by Amrus Natalsya, with a title Kegiatan Kampung (village life).
In this ArtFordable Auction, we would like to present a dedicated section of Balinese traditional paintings, portraying Balinese everyday lives in intricate details and natures decorated with lushes. Please have a look, as this section allows you to study, compare and contrast the differences in the paintings of Tubuh, Lesug, Sutedja, Artha and Balug.
To the young at heart, lay your eyes on the paintings by the following artists of the contemporary, we have Rudy ST. Darma, Sugihartono, Dhani Soegara, Dumas Indra, I Ketut Tenang, Henni Susilowati, Martono, Afrizal Chaniago, Roby Lukita, Mulyana Silihtonggeng, Rahardi Handining, Ida Bagus Putu Purwa, Pratomo Sugeng and Wenas Heriyanto. Don’t miss to check out the paintings of our new comers, Praja Paramitha, Sentot Widodo, Rahardi Handining, Erna Item, Miro and Irvan. They bring new flavours in addition to the existing styles, shapes and forms.
We wish you enjoy our special curated selections, and looking forward to seeing you. Happy bidding and cheers!
