(b. 1939/1942, Indonesian) |
Born in Penestanan, Ubud, Bali, 1939/1942. He learned painting within his community. At the age of 20, he met Rudolf Bonnet who encouraged him to join Golongan Pelukis Ubud. Ever since then, Sadia’s works had been influenced by Bonnet especially the illustration of human anatomy. But Bonnet’s influence obviously had been shown in his vision leading him to paint more secular themes, such as the peasant life, market scene and others. He had abandoned the traditional theme since then.His works was illustrated in bright colour, aesthetic figures and elongated deformation found in the figures of animal and vegetation (rice and grass). Aside from Indonesia, Sadia’s works have been exhibited in Netherlands, German, Swiss, Mexico and United States. |
