Catalogue Note
Srihadi Sudarsono is widely revered by the contemporaries with his vividly coloured paintings, surprising the audience with his daring choices and combinations of colours. There are two integral themes running throughout his oeuvre: the Indonesian landscapes and female dancers. Srihadi believed that paintings should capture the beauty of the inner spirit, and therefore channel a positive energy to the public.
Srihadi has refashioned each and every Janger dancer painting by portraying different moments of the dance, redesigning the composition, and adopting various colour combinations. In Tiga Penari Janger, the artist presents a quieter moment of dance as an art form. The artist chooses to illustrate the elegance of the dancers. By pairing it with warmer and relatively softer colours, he accentuated the poise of the dancers, allowing the audiences to be captivated by the natural grace of their movements.
