Acrylic on canvas

Pajangan (Display / Ornament) is a set pair of textured acrylic paintings depicting two among the most significant characters in Balinese mythology — Rangda and Barong — in a loose abstract-esque style stereotypically associated with contemporary art. The upfront, direct features of the two figures mimics that of Balinese masks on display, fairly common purchasable items in the region’s touristic art market, pondering the line between commercial and contemporary.
