✨Poetic Light: Art of Arie Smit The Maestro of Poetic Realism✨
19 JULY – 19 AUGUST
🎨 Step into a world bathed in color, memory, and light.
This landmark exhibition celebrates Arie Smit, the Indonesian Dutch-born artist whose vibrant vision helped shape the course of modern art in Bali.
More than an artist, Smit was a mentor, community builder, and pioneer of the Young Artist Style—a bold and expressive movement that broke from the muted earth tones of traditional Balinese painting. By introducing vivid color, intuitive brushwork, and imaginative freedom, Smit helped usher in a new era of visual storytelling in Bali—one that was playful, personal, and alive with emotion.
Through radiant compositions and poetic colors, Arie Smit captured the emotional rhythm of Bali like no one else—transforming everyday scenes into luminous works of art that continue to inspire across borders.
