Bendi, I Wayan

(1950 - 2020, Indonesian)
Born in Batuan, Bali, Indonesia, 1950, died in 2020.

He comes from a family artists. He learnt to paint from his father, I Wayan Taweng. Bendi’s Balinese style painting has its roots in the Batuan style which emerged in the 1930s. Under his treatment, the elaborate and moody schema of the Batuan style, traditionally applied to mythical themes, is applied to comment on contemporary Balinese life where traditions and tourist consumerism of Balinese culture warily meet.
