English
Murni, a self taught painter, also studied with Mundo, an Italian painter living in Ubud. She then developed her traditional techniques from Mokoh, a well known Pengosekan painter who is creating a genre parallel to the current sosio-cultural circumstances. Most of the paintings are figurative, with a strong nuance of traditional techniques. The narration of her thoughts appears through the main figures. Although some of these are depicted as ordinary objects; animals, trees, or other living creatures, the most conspicuous form is often the central figure, which then represents a personification of herself. Murni was born in Ubud, 1966. This exhibition will be the first solo exhibition at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta.
Bahasa Indonesia
Murni adalah pelukis otodidak, belajar dari Mundo (pelukis Italia yang kini tinggal di Ubud). Juga belajar dari pelukis gaya tradisional Pengosekan, Mokoh, yang berkembang paralel dengan kondisi sosio-kultural Ubud. Sebagian besar karya-karyanya merupakan lukisan-lukisan figuratif, dengan nuansa teknis tradisional Pengosekan. Narasi-narasi pemikirannya muncul melalui figur-figur sentral. Kalau toh figur-figur itu disampaikan melalui bentuk-bentuk atribut benda, binatang atau tumbuh-tumbuhan, maka bentuk yang paling menonjol sering menjadi figur sentral, yang kemudian merupakan personifikasi dirinya. Murni lahir di Ubud, 1966. Pameran kali ini merupakan pameran tunggal Murni yang pertama di Rumah Seni Cemeti.
