Abstract

"Surya Segara Rupa" is the theme of an exhibition initiated by the Fine Art Study Program of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts Indonesia Denpasar, located at Santrian Gallery, Sanur, Bali, which opened on November 17, 2023. This exhibition theme has a significant meaning and connection to the background of the big theme designed by the Bali Provincial Government which is contained in the Bali Arts Festival in 2023. The word "Surya" refers to the Sanskrit and Balinese word for the sun. Various cultures around the world regard the sun as a symbol of life, warmth and energy. The sun also plays an important role in the mythology, religion, iconography and beliefs of many ethnic societies in the world. The word "Segara" in Indonesian is the equivalent of the English word sea or ocean. The sea or ocean is often associated with sustainability, abundance, and the mysterious, infinite beauty of nature. In Bali it is known as segara without edge. The word "Rupa" can be translated as "form" or "shape." In the context of this Fine Art exhibition, "rupa" can refer to the visual appearance or expression of an object or visual idea. Thus, "Surya Segara Rupa" is an exhibition theme focusing on the incorporation of concepts related to the sun, the sea, and visual form in the context of art or creative expression from ISI Denpasar artists. The exhibition seeks to explore the meanings associated with the sun, sea, or other elements of nature, and how they can be expressed in works of art.
