Antique Balinese KAMASAN Painting, 32” x 19” Bali Art, Indonesian Ramayana

Description: BALINESE KAMASAN PAINTING Antique BHIMA SWARGA Balinese KAMASAN Painting, Bali Art, Garuda Kamasan paintings depict stories from epics of Indian and indigenous origin, relating the lives of the deities, the royal courts, and—sometimes—even commoner families. When displayed in temples and family compounds, paintings are hung only for the duration of festivals or ceremonies. At other times they are folded, or rolled, and stored alongside other ceremonial equipment. Paintings are normally produced on cotton cloth (kain belacu), made from cotton grown on the island of Nusa Penida or cotton imported from Europe. They are also painted on bark cloth (daluwang) sourced from around the archipelago and on wooden boards or panels (parba) that form the back of bed-like offering platforms (taban). The narratives depicted on them serve a didactic and devotional function and the paintings acquire many layers of meaning in the context of their display. They are intended to gratify and entertain the gods during their visits to the temple, as well as the human participants in ritual activities. (Source: ‘Entangled’ Histories of Art Collecting in Bali, Author: Siobhan Campbell, January 1st, 2014) The story of Bhima Swarga is elaborate and all-embracing. Bhima Swarga in Balinese means, Bhima goes to the abode of the gods. Swarga literally means to any place where the gods happen to reside, Heaven or Hell. PLEASE NOTE: These paintings do not come framed.
