Balinese Painting
"Are Notable For Their Highly Vigorous yet Refined"
Balinese traditional paintings were mainly found what is now known as the Kamasan or Wayang style. These are visual presentation of narratives, especially of the Hindu Javanese epics the Ramayana and Mahabharata as well as a number of indigenous stories, such as the Malat, depicting Panji narratives and the Brayut story

The pre-War modernisation of Balinese art emanated from three villages: Ubud, where Spies settled, Sanur on the southern coast, and Batuan, a traditional hub of musicians, dancers, carvers and painters. The artists painted mostly on paper, though canvas and board were also used. Often, the works featured repetitive clusters of stylized foliage or waves that conveyed a sense of texture, even perspective. Each village evolved a style of its own. Ubud artists made more use of open spaces and emphasized human figures. Sanur paintings often featured erotic scenes and animals, and work from Batuan was less colorful but tended to be busier.
