Anonymous details accentuate the smooth, fluid tonal variations of the material. About the Artist: Wayan Rendah; Wayan Rendah’s father began teaching him to sculpt when he was a boy. ”Balinese woodcarving touches me very deeply. They have learned a variety of arts in Bali, such as gamelan dance, but carving a piece of wood gives me an incomparable sensation,” he says. ”After they finished school, they studied further because they needed more experience, and the tools and material they needed were beyond my financial reach. Exploring the abstract world refreshes my mind in creating new carvings.
