The narrative paintings of Balinese artist Wayan Kun Adnyana take inspiration from the Yeh Pulu relief carvings, a set of primeval images found on a sacred river-bank in central Bali, bringing an ancient mode of story-telling and visual cues into a contemporary context. To date the artist has engaged with the art history of Bali and these paintings aim to share this knowledge on a global stage ‘my work attempts to connect with common people of multiple narration in our modern world,’ says Kun Adnyana.
