About Ketut Moniarta’s Current Artwork
Moni actually talks about the problem of the painting itself. Moni understands very well that one of the strength of painting has been its ability to create the illusion of forms, with myriad possibilities of characters and plasticity. The pocari sweat cans serve as an alibi for him to compose the character and plasticity of forms whose illusions are present in his canvas. For Moni, the pocari sweat cans are intriguing not because of their identity, but because of their appearance. One can surmise that they are appealing for Moni because of their formal components: the shape, the material, the color.
