THIS NEW SECTION is an experiment – a free space for Balinese artists to share their work, and to hopefully sell a piece or two in the process. These are hard times. No commission fees will be taken by Ubud High. This is a sales-fee-free zone.
Artist takes all.
Please contact the artist or their representative directly if you are interested in buying their artwork.
The last time a major economic disaster hit Bali – the 2002 and 2005 bombings – many of Bali's artisans and artists packed up their easels and chisels for good. Silversmiths became taxi drivers; painters became barmen; wood-carvers became sheet-changers in hotels. The result? A generation of Balinese art that was never made.
The impact of the Coronavirus on Bali's artists and their families is crushing, and tourism won't be making a comeback anytime soon. The Balinese economy is running on fumes. There is no social security, and no emergency bail-outs to speak of on Bali. For young artists, their art is their lifeblood; for the old, their pension; and for those artists who have passed away, a chance for their families to swap some very tasty, bequeathed art for food.
Artists' or representatives' contact details are provided in each of the portfolios below. Please contact them directly for enquiries, payment, collection or delivery.
Dig deep, or just enjoy the free market scene...
Om Swastiastu.
