Description:
Kay It Tanaya (1938-1977; Tabanan, Bali), better known as Kay It, created many new variations on traditiona Balinese forms by transforming them into modern symbols and retaining their essential characters. A self-taught artist, his use of line, color, and design transformed ordinary abjects and figures into delightful works of art. Kay It was a very versatile artist who created paintings with textured surfaces, terracota figures, and batiks with a fresh and naive spontaneity.Exhibitions: Hawksburn Arts Workshop (Melbourne, Autralia, 1973), Solander Gallery (Canberra, Autralia, 1974), Galeri Santi (Jakarta, Indonesia, 1995). |
